Defendant-Appellant filed a Motion to Challenge Chemical Tests and Memorandum of Law with the District Court, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. On January 15, 2007, the Plaintiff-Appellee filed its response to the Motion, attached hereto as Exhibit 2. On February 12, 2007 the District Court Judge denied the Defendant-Appellant\u2019s motion and set the matter for trail. The Defendant-Appellant then filed this interlocutory appeal.<\/p>\n<p>3<\/p>\n<p><strong>STANDARD OF REVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Appellee\/Defendant accepts the Statement of Facts contained in Appellant\/Plaintiff\u2019s Brief as complete and correct.<\/p>\n<p>4<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARGUMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>THE TRIAL COURT DID NOT COMMIT REVERSIBLE ERROR IN DENYING THE DEFENDANT\u2019S MOTION FOR AN EVIDENTIARY HEARING. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Review here is limited to the record developed by the trial court. MCR 7.210(A). Therefore, the sole issue to be decided is whether or not the Defendant-Appellant is entitled to an evidentiary hearing based only on his Motion and the response and the brief record created at the District Court.<\/p>\n<p>The Defendant-Appellant\u2019s original Motion, attached as Exhibit 1, although entitle \u201cMotion to Challenge Chemical Tests\u201d actually requests information from the People pursuant to MCR 6.201. However, MCR 6.201 is a discovery rule that the Michigan Supreme Court has clearly stated in Administrative Order 1999-3, that MCR 6.201 does not apply to Misdemeanor cases and there is no mandatory disclosure required of the prosecution and is inapplicable to a Motion to Challenge Chemical Tests.<\/p>\n<p>None the less, the Defendant-Appellant\u2019s Motion then has some paragraphs citing the criteria for laying a foundation for the admission of an Evidential Breath test, as set forth in the Defendant-Appellant\u2019s Memorandum of Law, citing People v. Krulikowski, 60 Mich. App. 28 (1975). The Motion then requests from the court a hearing and determination of certain facts. On its face, the Defendant-Appellant\u2019s Motion is nothing more than a demand of the People to lay a foundation for the admissibility of the Evidential Breath test prior to trial. The Motion alleges no error of law but rather demands findings of fact by the trial judge not by the jury. The proper time and place to argue whether or not a proper foundation is made for the admission of evidence is at the time of trial. Plaintiff-Appellee can find no authority what so ever that establishes a requirement to lay a proper foundation for admission of evidence prior to trial. Moreover, all of the Michigan authority discussing admission of evidence are reviewing the case on appeal after the trial, not before, and reviewing whether or not the trail court correctly decided to admit evidence or not.<\/p>\n<p>The Defendant-Appellant\u2019s Motion fails to set forth any errors or questions of law and fails to set forth any claim of error at all. As the Supreme Court stated in People v. Hackett, 421 Mich. 338, (1984) evidentiary hearings should not be utilized as a fishing expedition. See also, People v. Williams 191 Mich.App. 269, (1991). The effect of Defendant-Appellant\u2019s Motion is a request for such a \u201cfishing expedition\u201d upon the court. Furthermore, already overly busy courts and prosecutors would be forced, in essence, to have two trials on the same case if this Honorable Court were grant the Defendant-Appellant\u2019s requested relief. This is an unnecessary and unreasonable burden upon the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<p>The Defendant-Appellant\u2019s Motion does not set forth any questions of law or even any disputable questions of fact. Although, the Defendant-Appellant argues questions of fact in his Brief on Appeal, this Honorable Courts review is limited to the record created at the District Court. The Defendant-Appellant has included additional claims and arguments in this appeal that were not presented or argued at the lower court. Defendant-Appellant\u2019s additional arguments beyond his original Motion are without merit and cannot be considered because they were not part of the original record. Furthermore, had the Defendant-Appellant raised a question of fact in this original Motion, it is clearly established that questions of fact are to be decided by the trier of fact, in this case the jury, not the court before hand.<\/p>\n<p>5<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELIEF REQUESTED<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Plaintiff-Appellee respectfully requests that this Honorable Court affirm the decision of the trial court and remand the matter for trial.<\/p>\n<p>Respectfully submitted,<\/p>\n<p>SHERMAN &amp; SHERMAN, P.C.<\/p>\n<p>________________________________<br \/>\nNiccolas J.

It held that the prosecutor must establish the qualifications of the Breathalyzer operator, the method or procedure followed in administering the test, and the reliability of the testing device. Although there are not yet any reported cases establishing the proper foundation for admitting Datamaster test results, the analysis should be the same.<\/p>\n<p>Should the testimony at the requested hearing establish that these requirements were not followed, the drunk driving charge should be dismissed. To the accused, the chemical test is as much an instrument of exculpation as it is inculpation. If the police fail to administer the chemical test properly, a tremendous hardship results for Defendant. Because alcohol in the blood dissipates quickly, the accused is left with no way of gathering favorable evidence later if police negligence has prevented the administration of a proper chemical test. See <em>Brady v State of Maryland<\/em>, 373 US 83 (1963).<\/p>\n<p>Should the testimony further establish that the arresting officer(s) failed to provide Defendant his chemical test rights, MCI.A 257.625a, MSA 9.2325(1), dismissal of all drunk driving charges is likewise required.
