Text: Samraj Gnanaprakasam appeals the judgment of the district court, affirming a county court’s order denying his motion for absolute discharge under the speedy trial statutes. 1 1 See Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 29-1205 to 29-1209 (Reissue 2016). - 521 - Nebraska Supreme Court Advance Sheets 310 Nebraska Reports STATE v. GNANAPRAKASAM Cite as 310 Neb. 519 Gnanaprakasam asserts that COVID-19 was not good cause to delay his trial and that therefore, he was entitled to discharge. He attempts to distinguish our recent pandemic jurisprudence, 2 because he was to be tried to the bench rather than by jury. Finding no merit, we affirm.
