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)
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 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)
