The State adduced sufficient evidence to constitute a prima facie showing, pursuant to Rule 3.191(e), Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, that the accused made himself unavailable for trial by failing to respond to a notice of arraignment regularly mailed to him. In the circumstances of this case, the trial court was not obliged to accept as conclusive the accused’s denial that he received the notice of arraignment. Contrast State ex rel. Kennedy v. McCauley, 265 So.2d 547 (Fla.App. 4th, 1972). The trial court was therefore justified in its conclusion that the accused need not be discharged under the speedy trial rule. The judgment and sentence are therefore
AFFIRMED.
