Notes of Decisions

Writ of review was appropriate where plaintiff was sentenced for both driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor and driving with .15 percent or more by weight of alcohol in his blood, both offenses arising out of the same course of conduct. Doran v. State, 270 Or 758, 529 P2d 928 (1974)

The circuit court lacked jurisdiction to issue a writ of review concerning district court order denying defendant’s motion for leave to withdraw his guilty plea in a criminal proceeding. Humphreys v. State of Oregon, 19 Or App 630, 528 P2d 1094 (1974)

Since the district court record did not disclose an interlocutory order of any kind or any “errors in law appearing upon the face of the judgment or the proceedings connected therewith,” the circuit court order after hearing on writ of review could not be sustained; existence of a summary of proceedings not a part of the record was immaterial. Carter v. Reeves, 20 Or App 450, 532 P2d 31 (1975)

This section does not apply to review of municipal court interlocutory orders. Scott v. Thompson, 30 Or App 291, 567 P2d 555 (1977), Sup Ct review denied
