Hawaii Public Employment Relations Board v. Hawaii State Teachers Associatio‪n‬

Defendant-appellant Frankie A. Ontiveros was convicted of Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor (DUI), in violation of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) § 291-4(a) (1993). On appeal, he argues that: (1) his motion to dismiss the DUI charge on grounds of double jeopardy was wrongly denied; and (2) the district court was without jurisdiction to try the DUI charge because a valid notice of appeal of the written order denying the motion to dismiss had been filed prior to trial. We disagree and affirm.
