Before this Court, the Appellant seeks a reversal of the lower court’s order on the ground that his due process rights were violated by the lower court’s “delay” in disposing of this appeal. We find no merit in this argument.
The cases cited by the Appellant in his brief are totally inapposite to the case at hand since they pertain to statutory notice provisions or statutory provisions pertaining to the commencement of criminal trials. Here, the Appellant was fully informed that his conviction would result in a license suspension, and, when that suspension was appealed, enjoyed the benefit of a supersedeas for over two years. During this time, the Appellant, who was aware of Judge Toal’s health problem, never requested an expedited review of his appeal or the transfer of the case to another judge.
Order affirmed.
