235 So. 2d 325 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1970
Appellant seeks reversal of a final judgment denying a petition for a writ of prohibition to restrain the respondent Municipal Judge of the City of Gainesville, Florida, from conducting appellant’s trial on a charge of violating a municipal ordinance proscribing driving while intoxicated unless a jury trial is afforded in accordance with Section 322.262(4), F.S.A., 1967.
The Circuit Judge to whom the petition was addressed held the statute inapplicable to proceedings in municipal courts. We agree. See City of Gainesville v. Hilliard, 207 So.2d 520 (Fla.App.1968), cert. discharged Hilliard v. City of Gainesville, 213 So.2d 689 (Fla.1968), appeal dismissed 393 U.S. 321, 89 S.Ct. 556, 21 L.Ed.2d 517 (1969), rehearing denied 393 U.S. 1112, 89 S.Ct. 858, 21 L.Ed.2d 814, and Smith v. Davis, 231 So.2d 517 (Fla.1970).
The sole thrust of appellant’s contention rests on the opinion of the court
The final judgment appealed is affirmed.
