The statute does not, on its face, distinguish between convicted and acquitted defendants and thus a defendant who is acquitted may be required to pay all or part of the costs incurred by the county for her appointed counsel. State v. Arms, 60 Or App 400, 653 P2d 1004 (1982), Sup Ct review denied

Fitch v. Belshaw, 581 F Supp 273 (1984)

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Harmless error analysis is inappropriate where defendant has entered conditional plea. State v. Dinsmore, 182 Or App 505, 49 P3d 830 (2002)

Withdrawal of plea following successful appeal does not authorize court to reinstate charges dismissed as part of plea agreement. State v. Dinsmore, 200 Or App 432, 116 P3d 226 (2005), aff’d 342 Or 1, 147 P3d 1146 (2006)

Pleading guilty without being informed as to parole ineligibility raises no constitutional issue. Jones v. Cupp, 7 Or App 415, 490 P2d 1038 (1971), Sup Ct review denied

Record of criminal proceeding in which defendant enters guilty plea must contain an affirmative showing of the voluntariness of the plea. Raisley v. Sullivan, 8 Or App 332, 493 P2d 745 (1972), Sup Ct review denied

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Where petitioner appeared in district court on basis of information charging felonies, proceeding was not for arraignment as term is used in ORS 135.010 and acceptance by circuit court of petitioner’s guilty plea without assistance of counsel at time of actual arraignment violated this section. Shipley v. Cupp, 59 Or App 283, 650 P2d 1032 (1982)

135.385

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Failure to advise defendant that conviction could result in deportation or exclusion is harmless error where defendant 1) was represented by counsel, entered plea as result of plea agreement and did not raise issue at trial; or 2) appears in record of case not to be alien. State v. Collins, 51 Or App 651, 626 P2d 929 (1981); State v. Vickroy, 51 Or App 659, 626 P2d 932 (1981); State v. Frizell, 51 Or App 763, 627 P2d 21 (1981); Gaffey v. State of Oregon, 55 Or App 186, 637 P2d 634 (1981)

Where defendant has prior criminal history that would expose alien to deportation or exclusion, failure to instruct that deportation or exclusion is possible consequence of guilty plea by alien defendant is harmless error. State v. Frizell, 51 Or App 763, 627 P2d 21 (1981)

Court is not required to advise of collateral civil consequences of guilty plea, such as mandatory loss of driver license. Gaffey v. State of Oregon, 55 Or App 186, 637 P2d 634 (1981)

Imposition of sentence not including jail time does not excuse failure to advise defendant of maximum possible sentence. Gaffey v. State of Oregon, 55 Or App 186, 637 P2d 634 (1981)

This section requires court to address defendant personally to determine understanding of nature of charge, and statement to all in court room that, “the rest of you in custody should listen carefully because these rights will apply to you as well...” and making no mention of consequences of “no contest” plea fell short of statutory requirement. State v. Dawson, 57 Or App 420, 644 P2d 665 (1982)

Where noncitizen defendant has already been informed that conviction may result in deportation, court is not required to orally inform defendant of possibility before accepting guilty plea. Lyons v. Pearce, 298 Or 554, 694 P2d 969 (1985)

This section was intended to lead trial court through catechism that would insure that defendant’s waiver of constitutional rights would be valid and supply basis for constitutionally valid plea of guilty. Stelts v. State, 299 Or 252, 701 P2d 1047 (1985)

Where juvenile is charged with and admits to act that if committed by adult would be crime resulting in possible confinement for five years and court’s advice is insufficient regarding nature of charge and consequences of admission, child cannot be deemed to have made knowing waiver and juvenile court erred in not setting admission aside. State ex rel Juv. Dept. v. Clements, 95 Or App 640, 770 P2d 937 (1989)

135.395

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Trial court’s failure to comply with this section did not constitute basis for post-conviction relief under ORS 138.530. Dockery v. Maass, 99 Or App 219, 781 P2d 1230 (1989), Sup Ct review denied

“Factual basis for the plea” refers to facts regarding whether defendant committed crime to which defendant pleads, not facts regarding plea process. State v. Heisser, 232 Or App 320, 222 P3d 719 (2009), aff’d 350 Or 12, 249 P3d 113 (2011)

135.405

NOTES OF DECISIONS

District Attorney was without authority under this section to promise in plea negotiations that Board of Parole would treat crime as Subcategory 2 murder rather than Subcategory 1 murder. Rise v. Bd. of Parole, 304 Or 385, 745 P2d 1210 (1987)

Where prosecutor did not offer defendant same plea agreement as co-defendant and defendant was convicted for murder and robbery in first degree, legislative history of this statute demonstrates that district attorneys are not mandated to offer equal plea agreement opportunities to similarly situated defendants. State v. Buchholz, 97 Or App 221, 775 P2d 896 (1989) aff’d 309 Or 442, 788 P2d 998 (1990)

Where prosecutor improperly allowed victim’s parents’ wishes to control his decision not to enter into plea agreement and record did not reveal what prosecutor independently would have decided, case remanded to trial court for evidentiary hearing to determine how prosecutor would have exercised his judgment and discretion on basis of proper criteria and facts that existed at time he declined to enter into plea agreement. State v. McDonnell, 310 Or 98, 794 P2d 780 (1990); 313 Or 478, 837 P2d 941 (1992)

Record reflected ample justification for prosecutor to treat defendant differently than other individual with whom prosecutor negotiated plea agreement, considering defendant’s role in commission of murders. State v. Guzek, 310 Or 299, 797 P2d 1031 (1990)

Defendant and codefendant were not “similarly situated” when defendant personally committed murders, defendant was charged with aggravated murder while codefendant was charged with felony murder, defendant had extensive criminal record but codefendant did not and state had number of witnesses who would testify about character and propensity of defendant but found no witness who would testify similarly about codefendant. State v. Tucker, 315 Or 321, 845 P2d 904 (1993)

LAW REVIEW CITATIONS: 74 OLR 1365 (1995)

135.407

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Although defendant pleaded guilty to drug charges and was sentenced according to guidelines classification for scheme and network convictions and, after plea, scheme and network provisions were held unconstitutional, to allow review of defendant’s sentence would nullify prohibition of ORS 138.222 against review of sentence imposed pursuant to plea agreement. State v. Rathbone I, 110 Or App 414, 823 P2d 430 (1991), Sup Ct review denied

135.415

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Where district attorney adhered to standards expressed in this section, Freeland requirement that district attorney adhere “to sufficiently consistent standards to represent coherent, systematic policy” was met and defendant has not established predicate for alleged constitutional violation. State v. Buchholz, 309 Or 442, 788 P2d 998 (1990)

135.425

NOTES OF DECISIONS

This section requires criminal defense attorney prior to guilty plea to disclose consequences of guilty plea and conviction, including, in case of non-citizen client, possibility of deportation. Lyons v. Pearce, 298 Or 554, 694 P2d 969 (1985)

Where, under applicable immigration law, criminal conviction will not result in possibility of deportation, counsel is not required to advise alien client of such possibility prior to entry of guilty plea, nor to request that court make recommendation against deportation. Lyons v. Pearce, 298 Or 569, 694 P2d 978 (1985)

135.432

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Petitioner failed to demonstrate that trial counsel’s failure to get information under this section prejudiced petitioner because petitioner did not offer evidence that he would have withdrawn guilty plea in response to information he could have obtained under this section. Trujillo v. Maass, 312 Or 431, 822 P2d 703 (1991)

135.435

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Evidence of prior conviction was admissible notwithstanding that this section, making statements part of plea discussion inadmissible, was applicable under circumstances. State v. Aldridge, 33 Or App 37, 575 P2d 675 (1978)

Defendant’s offer to “tell the complete story” did not necessarily imply that defendant was offering to incriminate himself or to plead guilty, and thus statement was not inadmissible as part of plea discussion or agreement. State v. Reynolds, 43 Or App 619, 603 P2d 1223 (1979), aff’d 289 Or 533, 614 P2d 1158 (1980)

LAW REVIEW CITATIONS: 74 OLR 1365 (1995)

135.455

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Requirement that a defendant disclose his alibi defense, without the reciprocal requirement that the prosecutor disclose the evidence to be used to refute the alibi, is an unconstitutional violation of due process. Wardius v. Ore., 412 US 470, 93 S Ct 2208, 37 L Ed 2d 82 (1973)

This section requires that criminal defendants specifically identify which witnesses will be used to establish alibi defense and, given that reciprocal discovery is constitutionally essential, state must specifically identify which witnesses will be used to rebut alibi. State v. Frye, 34 Or App 871, 581 P2d 528 (1978)

Where defendant complied with this section by providing notice of her intent to present an alibi defense, but failed to give proper notice of the witnesses she intended to call in support of her alibi, it was error for trial court to preclude her from giving testimony regarding her alibi. State v. Douglas, 292 Or 516, 641 P2d 561 (1982)

Preclusion sanction of this section excludes only evidence that defendant was at particular place other than location of crime. State v. Redwine, 79 Or App 25, 717 P2d 1239 (1986)

This section does not prohibit defendant’s own testimony about location and activities at time in question, notwithstanding failure to give prior notice of intention to present alibi evidence. State v. Edgmand, 306 Or 535, 761 P2d 505 (1988)

Statements made by defendant in pre-sentence investigation interview were statements made during “proceeding relating to guilty plea” and as such were correctly suppressed. State v. Hubbard, 113 Or App 587, 833 P2d 1313 (1992)

NOTES OF DECISIONS

This section does not bar motion to quash indictment based on ground that grand jury was selected in violation of Article VII(Am), Section 5 of the Oregon Constitution. State v. Gortmaker, 60 Or App 723, 655 P2d 575 (1982), aff’d 295 Or 505, 668 P2d 354 (1983)

If indictment cannot be attacked on ground grand jury heard insufficient evidence or wrong type of evidence, it cannot be set aside because grand jury heard evidence that might not be admissible at trial. State v. Dike, 91 Or App 542, 756 P2d 657 (1988), Sup Ct review denied

This section sets out exclusive statutory grounds for setting aside indictment and, because those grounds do not include use of hearsay evidence, trial court was not required to set aside indictment on that ground. State v. Stout, 305 Or 34, 749 P2d 1174 (1988)

Where trial court refused to suppress bank records of defendant obtained by grand jury subpoena based on insufficient affidavit and records were properly resubpoenaed before trial, invalid subpoena is not ground to set aside indictment listed in this statute. State v. O’Brien, 96 Or App 498, 774 P2d 1109 (1989), Sup Ct review denied

135.520

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Where court dismissed information and ordered new trial after jury was unable to reach verdict, motion for dismissal was made prior to impending trial for purpose of this section. State v. Smith, 35 Or App 511, 582 P2d 26 (1978)

Motion to set aside indictment due to inadequate grand jury must be made prior to trial. State v. Pratt, 316 Or 561, 853 P2d 827 (1993); State v. Thompson, 126 Or App 500, 869 P2d 361 (1994)

Trial judge’s authority to grant additional time for making motion based on good cause does not permit hearing motion to set aside indictment after trial has commenced. State ex rel Schrunk v. Bonebrake, 318 Or 312, 865 P2d 1289 (1994)

135.530

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Defendant’s argument that because first indictment was quashed on constitutional grounds, trial court had no authority under this section to allow resubmission and reindictment was without merit. State v. King, 84 Or App 165, 733 P2d 472 (1987), Sup Ct review denied, aff’d on other grounds, King v. Brown, 8 F3d 1403 (9th Cir. 1993)

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Absent exceptional circumstances or statutory exceptions (ORS 135.640) a demurrer filed after entry of a plea of not guilty is not timely and a court is without authority to entertain it. State v. Dolan, 40 Or App 447, 595 P2d 836 (1979)

Demurrer was timely when defendant reserved “all rights against each indictment” at arraignment and arraignment court did not object to this reservation and when trial court allowed defendant to demur at beginning of trial and to renew demurrer at end of trial. State v. Wimber, 315 Or 103, 843 P2d 424 (1992)

135.630

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Where there is a general provision defining the elements of an offense, neither the indictment nor the proof need negative exceptions. State v. Alexander, 6 Or App 526, 487 P2d 1151 (1971)

Failure to demur to indictment waives all objections concerning sufficiency of indictment as to definiteness and certainty. State v. Kennedy, 6 Or App 552, 488 P2d 819 (1971), Sup Ct review denied

Inclusion of count identifying lesser included offense committed as part of same act did not constitute charging of two crimes. State v. McCauley, 8 Or App 571, 494 P2d 438 (1972), Sup Ct review denied

This section must be read in conjunction with ORS 132.560. State v. Norton, 9 Or App 595, 497 P2d 680 (1972), Sup Ct review denied

Identity of persons connected with criminal offense need not be stated in indictment unless constituting essential element of crime. State v. Shadley/Spencer/Rowe, 16 Or App 113, 517 P2d 324 (1973); State v. Fitzpatrick, 149 Or App 246, 942 P2d 819 (1997)

Whether complaint is “definite and certain” depends on whether it states acts in ordinary and concise language so that person of common understanding would know what was intended. State v. Johns, 20 Or App 249, 531 P2d 282 (1975)

Where there was no prison rule prohibiting prisoners from using telephones without proper authority, inmate’s admission to Discipline Committee that he had wrongly used telephone did not establish existence of such rule, and did not bar inmate from challenging existence of rule for first time on appeal. Haller v. OSP, 31 Or App 461, 570 P2d 983 (1977)

Where complaint charging criminal mischief alleged damage to multiple parcels of property arising from same episode, and it was impossible to determine from face of complaint how many property owners were involved, complaint alleged more than one offense not separately stated. State v. Sweet, 46 Or App 31, 610 P2d 310 (1980)

Where defendant’s theory supporting demurrer required analysis of facts extrinsic to indictment, demurrer could not be sustained. State v. Waldo, 93 Or App 613, 763 P2d 417 (1988)

Where two counts of indictment did not designate county in which offense was committed, court erred in not granting demurrer. State v. Dunn, 99 Or App 519, 783 P2d 29 (1989), Sup Ct review denied

Although underlying crime of robbery requires intentional, not just knowing, use of force, where indictment sufficiently alleges intent elsewhere, indictments for aggravated murder related to robbery were not defective for using term “knowingly” in reference to use of physical force. State v. Farrar, 309 Or 132, 786 P2d 161 (1990)

Trial court may not consider facts not alleged in complaint when ruling on demurrer. State v. Reed, 116 Or App 58, 840 P2d 723 (1992)

Demurrer based on ground that alleged criminal conduct occurred outside applicable statute of limitations is claim that indictment contains matter constituting justification or bar, not claim that facts stated do not constitute offense. State v. Wimber, 315 Or 103, 843 P2d 424 (1992)

Attempt to use motion in arrest of judgment to raise constitutional claim was improper and did not preserve claim for appellate review. State v. Bockorny, 124 Or App 585, 863 P2d 1296 (1993), Sup Ct review denied

Where examination of discovery material did not allow defendant to ascertain which facts indictment relied on, dismissal of indictment was improper because defect was not apparent on face of indictment. State v. Morgan, 151 Or App 750, 951 P2d 187 (1997)

Whether indictment substantially conforming to statutory language is subject to demurrer based on lack of specificity depends on whether discovery is adequate to inform defendant of specific conduct being alleged. State v. Wright, 167 Or App 297, 999 P2d 1220 (2000), modified 169 Or App 78, 7 P3d 738 (2000), Sup Ct review denied

Motion for judgment of acquittal at conclusion of state’s case based on alleged vagueness of underlying criminal statutes should be construed by trial courts as premature motion in arrest of judgment and motion should be denied with leave to review motion after verdict. State v. McKenzie, 307 Or 554, 771 P2d 264 (1989)

135.670

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Where a demurrer was allowed and thus acted as a bar, two alternatives were presented to the complaining party: (1) It could have sought the district court’s permission to refile under this section; or (2) it could have appealed the order to the circuit court. State v. Brent, 23 Or App 262, 541 P2d 1313 (1975)

Filing of new complaint after granting demurrer with leave to submit or refile under this section marks initiation of new action requiring personal service. State v. Picard, 37 Or App 483, 587 P2d 514 (1978)

NOTES OF DECISIONS

By enacting ORS 161.705, the legislature intended to authorize a compromise of all Class C felonies which could be punished “as a misdemeanor.” State v. Dumond, 270 Or 854, 530 P2d 32 (1974)

ORS 135.755 must be read together with ORS 135.705 and this section. State v. Martindale, 30 Or App 1127, 569 P2d 659 (1977), Sup Ct review denied

Criminal charge based on failure of driver involved in accident to leave name and address is not a charge which can be dismissed on basis of civil compromise. State v. Duffy, 33 Or App 301, 576 P2d 797 (1978)

To be entitled to civil compromise, defendant’s misdemeanor must affect only person or persons with civil remedy: acts criminalized to protect public at large are not covered by this section; overruling State v. Phon Yos, 71 Or App 57, 691 P2d 508 (1984). State v. Dugger, 73 Or App 109, 698 P2d 491 (1985)

Agreement, after negotiations by father of girl, to accept $5,000 from father of defendant for “loss of face” resulting from intercourse between defendant and girl was not enforceable civil compromise under this section requiring dismissal of charge of contributing to sexual delinquency of minor as such agreement did not acknowledge satisfaction in writing by “the person injured.” State v. Phak, 91 Or App 160, 754 P2d 31 (1988)

Custodial parent may not agree to civil compromise on behalf of minor victim because custodial parent does not have authority to contract on behalf of minor child. State v. Fitterer, 109 Or App 541, 820 P2d 841 (1991), Sup Ct review denied

Payment of civil penalty as provided under ORS 30.875 is civil compromise allowing dismissal of accusatory instrument. State v. Johnsen, 327 Or 415, 962 P2d 689 (1998)

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Sentence cannot be enhanced if circumstances defining specific conduct with which defendant is charged are not alleged in offense charged; it is not sufficient that charging instrument as whole contains allegations as to pertinent subcategory factors. State v. Drake, 113 Or App 16, 832 P2d 44 (1992)

Where indictment properly alleges elements of underlying offense, inclusion of alternative grounds for enhancing sentence does not create allegation of multiple offenses. State v. Merrill, 135 Or App 408, 899 P2d 712 (1995); State v. Wright, 150 Or App 159, 945 P2d 1083 (1997), Sup Ct review denied

Count of manslaughter in indictment charging second degree murder was merely unnecessary verbiage and worked no prejudice to defendant’s substantial rights. State v. McCauley, 8 Or App 571, 494 P2d 438 (1972), Sup Ct review denied

Superfluous inclusion of word “amended” in caption of newly issued indictment is not prejudicial to defendant because state must elect to proceed either under original indictment or under new indictment. State v. Mitchell, 9 Or App 17, 495 P2d 1245 (1972); State v. Steward, 9 Or App 35, 496 P2d 40 (1972), Sup Ct review denied

An indictment for obtaining property by false pretenses containing an erroneous allegation as to the ownership of the property was sufficient under this section. State v. Alden, 8 Or App 519, 495 P2d 302 (1972)

Allegations of ownership were required as part of description of stolen property, not as element of crime of theft, but to protect defendants from possibility of being charged twice for same offense. State v. Hull, 33 Or App 183, 575 P2d 1015 (1978), aff’d 286 Or 511, 595 P2d 1240 (1979)

Dismissal by the court on defendant’s motion of an information charging a felony did not constitute a bar to filing of an indictment two days later charging defendant with a felony. State v. Ivory, 20 Or App 253, 531 P2d 293 (1975)

Where information was not filed against defendant within 30-day period after he was held to answer for crime defendant was entitled to dismissal of information, although prosecution was not barred from subsequently proceeding against defendant upon indictment. State v. McCormick, 280 Or 417, 571 P2d 499 (1977)

“Held to answer” means bound over after preliminary hearing or held pursuant to information filed by district attorney. State v. Schiff, 93 Or App 301, 762 P2d 319 (1988)

Prejudice to defendant is not required for dismissal due to lack of timely prosecution. State v. Emery, 318 Or 460, 869 P2d 859 (1994)

Prejudice to defendant is not required for dismissal due to lack of timely prosecution. State v. Emery, 318 Or 460, 869 P2d 859 (1994)

Dismissal due to failure to comply with statutory requirement for speedy trial is without prejudice. State v. Emery, 318 Or 460, 869 P2d 859 (1994)

Potential ability of state to reindict following dismissal is irrelevant consideration. State v. Green, 140 Or App 308, 915 P2d 460 (1996)

Date of issuance or reissuance of case is starting date for calculating period of time state takes to bring defendant to trial. State v. Hampton, 152 Or App 742, 954 P2d 1267 (1998); State v. Purdom, 218 Or App 514, 180 P3d 150 (2008), Sup Ct review denied; State v. Bayer, 229 Or App 267, 211 P3d 327 (2009), Sup Ct review denied

Where defendant causes postponement through motion, postponement period attributable to defendant includes only reasonable time for judge to study legal question raised and issue decision. State v. Hampton, 152 Or App 742, 954 P2d 1267 (1998)

Eight-year delay between indictment and arrest is presumptively prejudicial. State v. Rohlfing, 155 Or App 127, 963 P2d 87 (1998)

Where defendant does not expressly consent to delay, consent may be shown by defendant’s voluntary conduct in avoidance of trial. State v. Kirsch, 162 Or App 392, 987 P2d 556 (1999)

Dismissal due to failure to comply with statutory requirement for speedy trial does not deprive prosecutor of authority to submit case to grand jury for consideration of additional charges arising from same incident. State v. Johnson, 172 Or App 29, 17 P3d 1087 (2001), Sup Ct review denied

Where defendant is responsible for portion of delay, defendant may still assert that portion attributable to state was sufficiently unreasonable to justify dismissal. State v. Harman, 179 Or App 611, 40 P3d 1079 (2002); State v. Johnson, 339 Or 69, 116 P3d 879 (2005)

Mere failure on part of defendant to insist state bring case to trial is not implied consent to delay. State v. Johnson, 193 Or App 250, 90 P3d 4 (2004), modified 194 Or App 28, 92 P3d 766 (2004), aff’d 339 Or 69, 116 P3d 879 (2005); State v. Adams, 339 Or 104, 116 P3d 898 (2005)

Factors to be considered in determining reasonableness of delay include nature of charges, length of delay and state’s explanation or lack of explanation for failing to bring case to trial. State v. Johnson, 193 Or App 250, 90 P3d 4 (2004), modified194 Or App 28, 92 P3d 766 (2004), aff’d 339 Or 69, 116 P3d 879 (2005); State v. Adams, 339 Or 104, 116 P3d 898 (2005)

Right of defendant charged with crime to be brought to trial within reasonable period of time is applicable to all times during which prosecutor has power to move case forward. State v. Johnson, 339 Or 69, 116 P3d 879 (2005)

Fact that time frame for serving particular warrant was within typical time frame for serving warrants within jurisdiction does not establish time frame as being reasonable for speedy trial purposes. State v. Davids, 339 Or 96, 116 P3d 894 (2005)

Statute of limitations for offense provides indicator of legislative view regarding what constitutes unreasonable delay in proceeding against defendant for particular offense. State v. Adams, 339 Or 104, 116 P3d 898 (2005)

Where inmate defendant is aware of pending charges and knowingly fails to file notice requesting trial under ORS 135.760 or knowingly fails to file trial demand under ORS 135.775, whichever is applicable, defendant is precluded from asserting that subsequent period of delay violates statutory speedy trial right.

NOTES OF DECISIONS

A dismissal of a misdemeanor is a bar only if it was after indictment, and the indictment was dismissed pursuant to [former] ORS 134.010 to 134.160. State v. Borders, 9 Or App 385, 496 P2d 243 (1972), Sup Ct review denied

Dismissal of an information, containing an indorsement at the foot designating the offense as “Class B Felony” in district court is not a dismissal of a misdemeanor within the meaning of this section and thus is not a bar to prosecution in the circuit court. State v. Laguardia, 11 Or App 75, 501 P2d 1005 (1972)

Dismissal of a misdemeanor charge in district court in order to consolidate it with a felony charge arising from the same transaction is possible and is no bar to further proceedings on the misdemeanor charge, notwithstanding this section. State v. Leverich, 14 Or App 222, 511 P2d 1265 (1973), aff’d 269 Or 45, 522 P2d 1390 (1974)

For purposes of former statute similar to this section, violations of [former] ORS 483.992 (2) and [former] ORS 483.999 are not the same offense. State v. Kaser, 15 Or App 411, 515 P2d 1330 (1973)

Trial court erred in dismissing felony indictment with prejudice where: 1) the state was unable to proceed due to external circumstances beyond its control and requested dismissal; 2) defendant made no showing of actual prejudice; and 3) dismissal with prejudice was not reasonably required to assure defendant’s right to a speedy trial nor the public’s right to effective enforcement of the criminal law. State v. Williams, 17 Or App 43, 520 P2d 462 (1974)

Where misdemeanor has been dismissed, bar against prosecution for same crime applies only to dismissed offense. State v. Stover, 271 Or 132, 531 P2d 258 (1975)

This section governs sufficiency of accusatory instruments other than traffic citations. State v. Strop, 31 Or App 893, 572 P2d 319 (1977)

This section does not apply to dismissals based on sufficiency of accusatory instruments. State v. Goakey, 47 Or App 31, 613 P2d 1074 (1980), Sup Ct review denied

Where court has dismissed charges in indictment, court may not reinstate charges by vacating order of dismissal. State v. Dinsmore, 200 Or App 432, 116 P3d 226 (2005), aff’d 342 Or 1, 147 P3d 1146 (2006)

NOTES OF DECISIONS

A dismissal which serves no purpose other than to render moot a party’s statutory right to seek appellate review is not ordered to “further justice.” State v. Hoare, 20 Or App 439, 532 P2d 240 (1975)

Having withstood a general constitutional challenge, this section does not permit the trial judge to reconsider on a case-by-case basis whether “furtherance of justice” requires the state to forego its statutory appeal rights. State v. Hoare, 20 Or App 439, 532 P2d 240 (1975)

Where prosecutors could not find the appropriate file during arraignment and refused to proceed without it, it was not “in furtherance of justice” for the court to dismiss the charge with prejudice because of the resulting delay. State v. Shepherd, 21 Or App 52, 533 P2d 353 (1975), Sup Ct review denied

This section must be read together with ORS 135.703 and 135.705, and thus dismissal on basis of civil compromise was improper where there was no written acknowledgment by person injured that he had received satisfaction for injury. State v. Martindale, 30 Or App 1127, 569 P2d 659 (1977), Sup Ct review denied

This section applies only to criminal cases, and a proceeding to declare person habitual traffic offender is civil. State v. Wright, 34 Or App 663, 579 P2d 266 (1978)

Where trial of major traffic crime had been postponed twice on defendant’s own motion and twice because of clerical errors in court administrator’s office and defendant demonstrated no prejudice from the delay, dismissal by trial judge was abuse of discretion. State v. Bethune, 51 Or App 271, 624 P2d 1113 (1981)

Dismissal authority is limited to action taken before trial. State ex rel Penn v. Norblad, 323 Or 464, 918 P2d 426 (1996); State v. Peekema, 328 Or 342, 976 P2d 1128 (1999)

Where constitutional violation is absent, inconvenience, expense or delay caused by prosecution of criminal charge is insufficient ground to warrant dismissal. State v. Stough, 148 Or App 353, 939 P2d 652 (1997), Sup Ct review denied

NOTES OF DECISIONS

135.760 to 135.773

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Where defendant, who requested speedy trial, made written motion for psychiatric examination and a continuance, state had already set trial within 90-day limit, and examination was delayed because of state hospital backlog which resulted in delay of trial beyond 90-day limit, circumstances were not sufficient to require dismissal of charges. State v. Fannin, 48 Or App 795, 617 P2d 953 (1980)

Where accusatory instrument did not exist at time defendant claims to have given written notice requesting speedy trial, notice cannot trigger statutory rights. State v. Easton, 103 Or App 184, 797 P2d 373 (1990)

135.760

See also annotations under ORS 134.510 in permanent edition.

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Letter of inmate to district attorney requesting information concerning status of pending charge of theft was not “notice requesting trial” pursuant to ORS 135.763. State v. Williams, 39 Or App 223, 592 P2d 226 (1979)

Where ORS 135.763 states that district attorney’s duty to act does not arise until he receives notice under this section, defendant’s testimony that he sent notice to district attorney, which trial court believed, was sufficient to activate presumption that notice was received and trial court must determine whether state rebutted presumption and if so, whether district attorney received it more than 90 days before motion to dismiss. State v. Liefke, 101 Or App 208, 789 P2d 700 (1990)

Penalty-phase proceeding is not subject to speedy trial request because no charge is pending at that phase. State v. Pinnell, 319 Or 438, 877 P2d 635 (1994)

Where inmate defendant is aware that indictment, information or complaint is pending or has been filed and knowingly fails to file notice requesting trial, defendant is precluded from asserting that subsequent period of delay violates speedy trial right under ORS 135.747. State v. Ayers, 203 Or App 683, 126 P3d 1241 (2006), modified 207 Or App 668, 143 P3d 251 (2006), Sup Ct review denied

135.763

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Letter of inmate to district attorney requesting information concerning status of pending charge of theft was not “notice of requesting trial” pursuant to this section. State v. Williams, 39 Or App 223, 592 P2d 226 (1979)

Where notice to district attorney of request for trial contained only “/S/” on the line above word “defendant” but ribbon copy that defendant had filed with clerk of court had been signed by defendant personally, copy informed district attorney of defendant’s desire to avail himself of rights under ORS 135.760 et seq. State v. Holden, 41 Or App 661, 598 P2d 1252 (1979)

Once inmate requests speedy trial, this section also requires inmate’s express consent to continuance of trial of pending criminal charges. State v. Clarkson, 87 Or App 342, 742 P2d 657 (1987)

Court may grant motion for continuance for good cause where essential witness is hospitalized and unavailable for trial. State v. Guest, 103 Or App 594, 798 P2d 708 (1990), Sup Ct review denied

Where neither district attorney nor defendant requested continuance, court had no authority to deny defendant’s motion to dismiss when trial was not commenced within 90 days of receipt of notice; court will not read “good cause” exception into requirement that state or defendant request continuance. State v. Person, 113 Or App 40, 831 P2d 700 (1992), aff’d 316 Or 585, 853 P2d 813 (1993)

Where prisoner was incarcerated outside of state, 90-day period did not commence until prisoner was returned to custody of Department of Corrections. Danielson v. Maass, 123 Or App 366, 860 P2d 286 (1993), Sup Ct review denied

Where court raised issue of defendant’s speedy trial request at arraignment hearing and explained that granting defendant’s request for continuance meant that trial may not occur within 90-day period and defendant and defense counsel indicated assent, defendant waived right to speedy trial. State v. Hunter, 316 Or 192, 850 P2d 366 (1993)

Penalty-phase proceeding is not subject to speedy trial request because no charge is pending at that phase. State v. Pinnell, 319 Or 438, 877 P2d 635 (1994)

Where inmate is released from incarceration after making request for early trial, state has no duty to provide early trial. State v. Becker, 224 Or App 56, 197 P3d 44 (2008)

135.765

NOTES OF DECISIONS

State may not avoid requirement of bringing defendant to trial within 90 days by voluntarily dismissing indictment then reindicting defendant. State v. Gilliland, 90 Or App 477, 752 P2d 1255 (1988)

Where neither district attorney nor defendant requested continuance under ORS 135.763, court had no authority to deny defendant’s motion to dismiss when trial was not commenced within 90 days of receipt of notice. State v. Person, 113 Or App 40, 831 P2d 700 (1992), aff’d 316 Or 585, 853 P2d 813 (1993)

Dismissal of charge for failure to bring defendant to trial within 90 days must be with prejudice. State v. Waechter, 163 Or App 282, 986 P2d 1281 (1999)

135.775

NOTES OF DECISIONS

In general

Nothing in this section indicates an intent by the legislature to change the rule that concurrent sentences may be provided only when they may be served in the same institution. State v. Stewart, 6 Or App 264, 487 P2d 889 (1971)

The Board of Parole did not act illegally in imposing upon the prisoner a condition that he sign a waiver of extradition before being granted parole to authorities of another state. Bailleaux v. Cupp, 535 F2d 543 (1976)

Where defendant refused to cooperate with prison officials of sending state in providing requisite information for certificate of inmate status, such information was important ingredient of receiving state’s decision whether to prosecute prisoner and prisoner was not denied right to speedy trial under Interstate Agreement on Detainers. State v. DeMotte, 42 Or App 413, 600 P2d 923 (1979)

Where no detainer based upon untried indictment, information or complaint had been filed against defendant, Interstate Agreement on Detainers did not become operative and state was not bound by its provisions, so there could be no denial of right to speedy trial under this section. State v. Coffman, 59 Or App 18, 650 P2d 144 (1982)

Article III

Article III does not apply if: 1) detaining authority is not party to agreement; 2) defendant has not entered upon “term of imprisonment” when he writes demand letter; or 3) demand letter does not contain information required by this article. State v. Cox, 12 Or App 215, 505 P2d 360 (1973), Sup Ct review denied

Defendant’s rights under Interstate Compact on Detainers are triggered only by lodging of detainer, and thus defendant’s right under this section to speedy trial was not violated where defendant incarcerated in foreign state signed and forwarded forms requesting trial eleven months before Oregon detainers were lodged against him. State v. Hibdon, 36 Or App 97, 583 P2d 597 (1978)

Where defendant requested trial under this section, he did not acquiesce in trial after expiration of statutory period by failing to object to trial date at arraignment. State v. Arwood, 46 Or App 653, 612 P2d 763 (1980)

Under the Interstate Agreement, notice and request must be sent by prisoner to custodian, not to prosecutor and, therefore, defendant’s attempts to initiate speedy trial proceedings by directly contacting Clackamas County District Attorney were ineffective to start running of 180-day period. State v. Smith, 64 Or App 588, 669 P2d 368 (1983)

Section did not apply to Washington inmate who requested that he be brought to trial within 180 days on charges pending in Oregon because he was paroled before end of that period; several jail terms, served in different jurisdictions, do not constitute a single term of imprisonment for purposes of Interstate Agreement on Detainers. State v. Foster, 107 Or App 481, 812 P2d 440 (1991)

180-day period for bringing prisoner to trial does not commence until prisoner’s request for final disposition of charges has actually been delivered to court and prosecuting officer. State v. Burss, 316 Or 1, 848 P2d 596 (1993)

Where 180-day period for bringing prisoner to trial has expired, remedy lies with court in receiving state. Freeman v. Hand, 158 Or App 489, 974 P2d 788 (1999), Sup Ct review denied

Where defendant is aware that interstate detainer has been lodged and defendant knowingly fails to file trial demand, defendant is precluded from asserting that subsequent period of delay violates speedy trial right under ORS 135.747. State v. Ayers, 203 Or App 683, 126 P3d 1241 (2006), modified 207 Or App 668, 143 P3d 251 (2006), Sup Ct review denied

Article IV

Where first indictment was quashed only six days before defendant’s speedy trial period would expire, court did not err in granting state 30-day continuance to resubmit case to grand jury. State v. King, 84 Or App 165, 733 P2d 472 (1987), Sup Ct review denied, aff’d King v. Brown, 8 F3d 1403 (9th Cir. 1993)

Where defendant moved for continuance and to suppress evidence, to which state appealed, time limitation under Article IV was tolled without state requesting continuance. State v. Bernson, 106 Or App 252, 807 P2d 309 (1991), Sup Ct review denied

Article V

This section permits receiving state to retain custody of defendant to bring new charges arising out of same incident as charge in indictment under which defendant was transferred to Oregon. State v. King, 84 Or App 165, 733 P2d 472 (1987), Sup Ct review denied, aff’d on other grounds, King v. Brown, 8 F3d 1403 (9th Cir. 1993)

Article VI

Section (b) applies only to persons presently in sending state. State v. King, 84 Or App 165, 733 P2d 472 (1987), Sup Ct review denied, aff’d on other grounds, King v. Brown, 8 F3d 1403 (9th Cir. 1993)

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Copy of letter sent to district court and also to district attorney’s office, entering not guilty plea and stating “by copy of this letter I am demanding reciprocal discovery from the District Attorney’s office,” was insufficient to make formal demand for disclosure of classes of information available under these sections. State v. Sheppard, 32 Or App 345, 573 P2d 1276 (1978), Sup Ct review denied

Specifications, operating instructions and repair and maintenance records for radar device with which arresting officer measured defendant’s speed were not discoverable under these sections. State v. Spada, 33 Or App 257, 576 P2d 33 (1978), aff’d286 Or 305, 594 P2d 815 (1979)

These sections afford defendant opportunity to obtain specific and detailed information about state’s theory of case and evidence it intends to produce at trial, and purposes that indictments and complaints are designed to serve in criminal cases are now served as well or better by discovery. State v. Strandquist, 57 Or App 404, 644 P2d 658 (1982), Sup Ct review denied

Nothing in discovery statutes prevents state from initiating grand jury investigation of possible criminal activities by potential defense witnesses. State v. Huffman, 65 Or App 594, 672 P2d 1351 (1983)

Where defendant appeals conviction and trial court precluded defense witness because of alleged discovery violation and state being prejudiced, trial court obligated to explore other alternatives to remedy prejudice before precluding witness from testifying. State v. Gill, 96 Or App 358, 772 P2d 957 (1989)

135.815

NOTES OF DECISIONS

Where a police informant was neither a witness to nor a participant in the commission of the crime charged and did no more than provide facts which helped form basis of probable cause to arrest defendant, testimony of the informer was not significant in establishing guilt or innocence of defendant and state could refuse to disclose his identity. State v. Jessie, 17 Or App 368, 521 P2d 1323 (1974), Sup Ct review denied

Statements or memoranda of witnesses are subject to the disclosure requirements regardless of whether they ever actually came within the possession of the prosecutor. State v. Johnson, 26 Or App 651, 554 P2d 624 (1976)

Where report is created, it is subject to discovery as “statement” notwithstanding later incorporation into another report. State v. Johnson, 26 Or App 651, 554 P2d 624 (1976)

In criminal case, where state did not intend to offer items in evidence, and they were not obtained from and did not belong to defendant, such items were not discoverable by the defendant. State v. Koennecke, 274 Or 169, 545 P2d 127 (1976)

“Statement” means account of event or declaration of fact intended as complete expression of event or fact. State v. Bray, 31 Or App 47, 569 P2d 688 (1977)

Police officer’s notes are not “statements” and therefore are not subject to discovery. State v. Bray, 31 Or App 47, 569 P2d 688 (1977); State v. Warren, 31 Or App 1121, 572 P2d 341 (1977); State v. McKeen, 33 Or App 343, 576 P2d 804 (1978); State v. Armstrong, 71 Or App 467, 692 P2d 699 (1984); State v. Wrisley, 138 Or App 344, 909 P2d 877 (1995), Sup Ct review denied

Notes and rough drafts used to prepare final report are not discoverable as statements where no significant difference exists between rough drafts and final report. State v. Jackson, 31 Or App 645, 571 P2d 523 (1977)

Where defendant did not request discovery in accordance with ORS 135.845 he could not claim prejudice by state’s alleged failure to comply with this section. State v. Dixon, 31 Or App 1027, 571 P2d 922 (1977), Sup Ct review denied

Fact that defendant could have obtained copies of requested records on his own initiative did not relieve state of duty to disclose imposed by this section. State v. Carsner, 31 Or App 1115, 572 P2d 339 (1977)

In trial of defendant charged with theft of tractor, it was improper for trial court to overrule, without making further factual inquiry, defendant’s objection that photographs of allegedly stolen tractor had not been disclosed to him prior to trial. State v. Warren, 31 Or App 1121, 572 P2d 341 (1977)

Notes and rough drafts differ from “statements” because notes and drafts are not intended to serve as communication to others. State v. Morrison, 33 Or App 9, 575 P2d 988 (1978)

Fragmentary notes and rough drafts are not subject to discovery as “statements.” State v. Morrison, 33 Or App 9, 575 P2d 988 (1978); State v. Wrisley, 138 Or App 344, 909 P2d 877 (1995), Sup Ct review denied

Skull of victim was not discoverable by defendant under this section. State v. Oliverez, 34 Or App 417, 578 P2d 502 (1978), Sup Ct review denied

There was no violation of this section where traces of blood disappeared from knife used in robbery without explanation, but nothing in record established that any tests which prosecution would be required to disclose were performed upon knife. State v. Kilpatrick, 35 Or App 749, 582 P2d 480 (1978)

State’s failure to disclose existence of audio recording of defendant’s arrest was not improper where defendant did not meet burden of showing evidence was favorable and material to his guilt or innocence, and record did not indicate evidence was prejudicial. State v. Peters, 39 Or App 109, 591 P2d 761 (1979), Sup Ct review denied

Breathalyzer ampule is not result of scientific test, experiment, or comparison subject to discovery, nor is breath within ampule “tangible object” subject to discovery. State v. Simpson, 40 Or App 83, 594 P2d 425 (1979)
