Heading Rank: 3

Heading: Whether the trial court abused its discretion in denying Muschs' request for change of venue.

Text: Finally, whether the circumstances warrant a change of venue is left to the discretion of the trial court. Anderson v. Lale, 88 S.D. 111, 216 N.W.2d 152 (1974). In the absence of clear abuse of its discretion, this court will not interfere with a trial court's exercise thereof. Id. 216 N.W.2d at 154; Root v. Bingham, 26 S.D. 118, 128 N.W. 132 (1910). A careful examination of the record does not disclose anything which would indicate the trial court abused its discretion. Affirmed. SABERS and AMUNDSON, JJ., concur. HENDERSON, J., concurs with writing. WUEST, J., dissents.
