Gary W. Christopher, Asst. Public Defender, Baltimore (Alan H. Murrell, Public Defender, Baltimore, on the petition), for appellant.
Carmina Szunyog, Asst. Atty. Gen., Baltimore (Stephen H. Sachs, Atty. Gen., Baltimore, on the answer to petition), for appellee.
Submitted to MURPHY, C.J., and SMITH, ELDRIDGE, COLE, DAVIDSON, RODOWSKY and COUCH, JJ.
In an indictment filed in the Criminal Court of Baltimore (now the Circuit Court for Baltimore City), the petitioner was charged with murder. The appearance of his counsel was entered on August 3, 1981; therefore the 180-day period for bringing the case to trial, prescribed by Maryland Code (1957, 1982 Rep.Vol.), Art. 27, § 591, and Rule 746, expired on January 30, 1982. Following an earlier postponement, the trial was scheduled for January 18, 1982.
On January 18, 1982, the designated administrative judge found good cause to postpone the case and granted a postponement. The underlying reasons for the postponement, as set forth in the Court of Special Appeals' opinion in this case ( State v. Green, 54 Md.App. 260, 262, 458 A.2d 487 (1983), were as follows:
Trial was ultimately rescheduled for May 24, 1982. On that day, however, the trial judge, finding a violation of § 591 and Rule 746, granted the defendant's motion to dismiss. The trial judge held that the designated administrative judge had erred in deciding that there was good cause for the postponement on January 18, 1982.
