Double Arrignment at Traffic Court in Californa

My question involves traffic court in the State of: CA

I received a ticket in the Lancaster area of the Antelope Valley region of southern California. The court date on the ticket was approximately 2 months after the date of the infraction.

When I appeared for the court date, [usually the day for arraignment] I was sent to the clerks window to pay. At the clerks window I was asked if I want to pay or see the judge? I stated that I was not guilty and before I could say another word, I was cut off abruptly by the clerks office cashier and told that I would be given a court date to see the judge.

I believe that the 45 day requirement between arraignment and the court date that they set for me had already been violated. I did NOT waive my right to the 45 days verbally or on paper anywhere.

Here are the dates:

Ticket date: 09-03-2009
Court date on ticket: 11-03-2009
New date to see the judge: 01-05-2010

On 01-05-2009 I appeared again and was asked to arraign before the judge when I believed that I had already arraigned on 11-03-09????

Both time frames clearly break the 45 day rule.

I was given a trial date of 02-10-2010

Is double arraignment legal in California?

Your first arraignment wasn't an arraignment. You were given an extension before your arraignment. Why the clerk did that is anyone's guess. It's been my experience that most clerks at the court house are not the sharpest tools in the shed.
