Smith v. Sup. Ct., No. A124763

Defendant's petition for writ relief from trial court's denial of his motion to dismiss is granted as the trial court erred by denying defendant's motion as he was not brought to trial within 60 days of his arraignment and it is clear that he did not generally waive his speedy trial rights.
