Description
William Simmons was found guilty by a jury in the magistrate division of operating a vehicle without a valid driver's license,
without proof of liability insurance and with an expired vehicle registration. The judgments were affirmed on appeal to the
district court. Simmons further appeals, contending that the magistrate had no personal jurisdiction over him, that the magistrate
erroneously denied Simmons' right to assistance of counsel and that the verdicts were unsupported by the evidence. We affirm. Because we are reviewing an appellate decision of the district court, we will independently examine the trial record and
reach our own determinations of law upon the facts presented. Simmons' jurisdictional argument is three-fold. First, he submits
that personal jurisdiction under the common law was not established. We note that Simmons is a resident of this state and
that he committed citable traffic offenses in this state. We see no jurisdictional defect in that regard.
