Description
This is an interlocutory appeal by the district attorney in a prosecution of the defendant, Rudy Mascarenas, for Driving After Judgment Prohibited, section 42-2-206(1), C.R.S. 1973. The district attorney challenges a ruling of the District Court for Rio Grande County that one of the traffic offense convictions supporting an habitual traffic offender determination of the Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division (DMV), was obtained in violation of the defendant's constitutional right to counsel. U.S. Const. amends. VI, XIV; Colo. Const. Art. II, § 16. The court concluded that the defendant made a prima facie showing, unrebutted by the prosecution, that he was not represented by counsel and had not waived such representation at the time he offered the plea of guilty upon which his traffic offense conviction was based. We conclude that the defendant did not make a prima facie showing that his right to counsel was violated and so reverse the ruling of the trial court.
