John D. Wooton, Esq., Wooton Law Firm, Beckley, for Appellants.

Darrell V. McGraw, Jr., Attorney General, Janet E. James, Assistant Attorney General, Charleston, for Appellees.


PER CURIAM.

In the instant case, the Circuit Court of Raleigh County ruled that evidence of the results of a breathalyzer machine1 analysis of a motor vehicle driver's blood alcohol level that was based on a "one-sample" protocol met the evidentiary threshold of scientific reliability; and that the machine's results were therefore admissible into evidence. We uphold this ruling.
