608 P.2d 844 | Colo. Ct. App. | 1980
Plaintiff appeals a judgment of the district court sustaining an order of the Department of Revenue suspending plaintiff’s driver’s license for a period of one year and denying plaintiff’s request for a restricted license. We affirm.
Plaintiff’s reliance on Stortz and Dunn, which dealt with penalty assessments under the provisions of § 42-4-1501(4)(a), C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Cum.Supp.), is misplaced. Section 42-2-121(3), C.R.S.1973, requires that for a penalty assessment to be considered a conviction for the purposes of suspension or revocation of a license, the summons must state clearly the points to be assessed for the offense. However, the conviction which plaintiff challenges was not the result of a penalty assessment, but rather resulted from a court appearance. Because the statutory provision which requires that a summons reflect the number of points to be assessed for the offense charged relates only to penalty assessments, plaintiff’s contention is without merit.
Judgment affirmed.
