State v. Loyd5/6/2005
filed. Consequently, his speedy trial argument is without merit.
We note that preindictment delay can form the basis of an argument that a defendant's rights under the Due Process Clause were violated, see Meese, supra, and that Loyd made a short argument in that regard. However, we held in Meese that the overruling of a motion based upon such a due process argument is not a final, appealable order, and we refused to consider such an argument in an interlocutory appeal. We likewise lack jurisdiction to consider such an argument in this appeal.
CONCLUSION
Loyd's speedy trial argument is without merit, as it is based on delays which occurred before the complaint which he seeks to discharge was filed. Because we do not have jurisdiction to consider Loyd's other arguments, the order of the district court, affirming the order of the county court overruling Loyd's motion to discharge on speedy trial grounds, is affirmed.
Affirmed.
