COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA
PER CURIAM
v. Record No. 980061 November 6, 1998
JAMES ARTHUR PRICE, JR.
FROM THE COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA
In this appeal, the Court reviews a judgment of the Court
of Appeals holding that the accused was held continuously in
custody in excess of five months from a finding of probable
cause until trial in violation of Code § 19.2-243, the so-called
"speedy trial" statute. Price v. Commonwealth, 25 Va. App. 655,
492 S.E.2d 447 (1997).
For the reasons set forth in the opinion of the Court of
Appeals, we will affirm that court's judgment. See Jackson v.
Commonwealth, 255 Va. 625, 642, 499 S.E.2d 538, 549 (1998).
