STATE of Minnesota, Respondent, v. Julius Ambrose COUTURE, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Minnesota.

January 12, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John M. Stuart, State Public Defender, Marie L. Wolf, Assistant State Public Defender, Minneapolis, MN (for appellant).

Michael A. Hatch, Attorney General, Robert A. Stanich, Assistant Attorney General, St. Paul, MN; and Alan L. Mitchell, St. Louis County Attorney, Duluth, MN (for respondent).

Considered and decided by LANSING, Presiding Judge, RANDALL, Judge, and SHORT, Judge.

OPINION

RANDALL, Judge

Appellant argues the district court abused its discretion when it denied his motion for a change of venue on his claim that pretrial publicity rendered it impossible for him to receive a fair trial. Appellant also argues that after the state dismissed the original complaint, the state lacked jurisdiction to file an amended complaint, charging him with driving under the influence. We affirm on all issues.
