Heading: Federal Due Process and Ark. R.Crim. P. 29.1

Text: In his motion to dismiss, Mr. Jackson also argued that the State's delay in bringing him to trial was a violation of his federal right to due process of a law, and a violation of Ark. R.Crim. P. 29.1. Mr. Jackson, however, did not obtain a ruling on either issue, and he failed to adequately develop either argument in his petition. We have repeatedly said that the failure to obtain a ruling on an issue at the trial court level, including a constitutional issue, precludes review on appeal. L.H. v. State, 333 Ark. 613, 973 S.W.2d 477 (1998); McGhee v. State, 330 Ark. 38, 954 S.W.2d 206 (1997). Accordingly, we do not address the merits of either argument. Petition for writ of prohibition denied.
