    Default Delay in Filing a DUI Case

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA

    First I'll mention I had one DUI in Summer '07. In February 2009, I was right in front of my house, I had a 30pack of beer in the backseat of my car and the local cops game me my 2nd DUI. My mom called it in.

    My question is: I went into a 3 month in-patient alcohol rehab, and have been sober almost 5 months now (since the day of my DUI), my lawyer has been to the scheduled court date (which was written on my ticket for the end of April this year), and she said my case hasn't been filed yet.

    Now I'm attending a 2nd offender DUI class (18 month), and they required me to get my H-6 printout from the DMV first. I got it yet it doesn't have my DUI listed on it.

    So with my case not filed, and no DMV record of it...could it be because the court is backlogged or something else?

    Thanks

    Yes, it could be that the court is backlogged or something else.

    Perhaps your attorney can check to see if the DA has even received the case, yet. They have one year to file, so you're not out of the woods yet.
