State v. French

Hawaii Intermediate Court of Appeals

Decided October 31, 1994No. 16317PublishedCited by 16 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

ACOBA, Judge.

Defendant-Appellant Dale E. French (Defendant), appearing pro se, appeals from traffic violation convictions in the district court. Defendant argues, in effect, that his right to a fair trial was violated. He also claims that the district court lacked jurisdiction in his case because the United States Supreme Court has original jurisdiction pursuant to article III, section 2, of the United States Constitution and alternatively, because he is a member of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Finally, he contends that the traffic statutes involved violated his right to travel.

We affirm.
