Description

Tapia was attorney of record for Charlie Pacheco, the defendant in a criminal matter pending before the magistrate court in Santa Fe County. Despite receiving timely notices of trial settings, he failed to appear on three separate occasions or to file requests for a continuance in advance of his failures to appear. Opposing counsel, witnesses, and Tapias client appeared at each of the settings, an indication that they were as unaware as the court of Tapias plans. Tapia claims that shortly before one of the scheduled trials, he had a chance encounter with the judge at a social gathering and obtained a continuance from him at that time. Not only is this explanation undermined by the testimony of another witness, it also would not excuse his conduct even if believed. The Rules of Criminal Procedure for the Magistrate Courts, SCRA 1986, 6-104(C) (Supp.1987), do not provide for a continuance to be sought in this manner.
