Andersen, J.
(concurring) — The reasons that defense counsel did not give notice to opposing counsel of his motion is obviously that the letter was not a "motion" at all. By definition and practice, a pleading, in whatever form, is not a motion unless it seeks affirmative relief.1 The letter was no more than an "announcement" of defense counsel's views and did not constitute a motion as required by the speedy trial rule.21, therefore, agree that remand to the trial court is appropriate.
