Heading: admissibility of dmv records

Text: At her hearing in district court, Clayton objected to the admissibility of the DMV's records as hearsay. Clayton's objection was overruled. Clayton acknowledges that Hehn v. State, 206 Neb. 34, 290 N.W.2d 813 (1980), is controlling. In Hehn, we approved the admissibility of the DMV's records in a district court hearing. We affirmed that holding in Wollenburg v. Conrad, 246 Neb. 666, 522 N.W.2d 408 (1994). These cases state that § 60-507(3) plainly suggests that the DMV's records are admissible in district court. If the district court is to determine whether the director's action was correct and if the director is required by § 60-507(3) to consider all accident reports filed in connection with the accident, then the DMV's records must be made available to the district court. Wollenburg, supra ; Hehn, supra . Accordingly, the district court properly admitted exhibit 1, the DMV's records, over Clayton's hearsay objection.
