STATE of Washington, Respondent, v. Phuong H. NGUYEN, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 1.

March 6, 2006.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Elaine Winters, Washington Appellate Project, Seattle, WA, for Appellant.

Alice Degen, David Seaver, King County Prosecutor's Office, Seattle, WA, for Respondent.


BECKER, J.

¶ 1 Appellant Phuong Nguyen was charged with committing a home invasion robbery. Over Nguyen's objection, the trial court granted the State's request for a two-month continuance of the trial date to "track" Nguyen's case with other home invasion robberies in case the police found evidence linking them. Finding a manifest abuse of discretion, we reverse and dismiss for violation of the speedy trial rule.
