Text: Michalek's first trial resulted in a hung jury. Prior to the first trial, he moved the court in limine to prohibit any reference to his lack of a driver's license because such reference would convey to the jury the fact of prior convictions, which were not admissible and would be prejudicial. This motion was granted. During trial, references were made to Michalek's (drivers) work permit. Although Michalek did not make a motion in limine to exclude this testimony, he argues that the motion in limine he made at his first trial should carry over. However, no authority is cited for this proposition and we deem the issue waived. Corbly v. Matheson, 335 N.W.2d 347, 348 (S.D.1983). More importantly, Michalek has failed to show that the prosecutor violated any court order in this respect.
