SABERS, Justice
(concurring in result).
I concur in the result because coram nobis was the proper remedy, even if Nilles was not entitled to relief in this case.
The majority implies approval of the circuit court’s holding that Nilles “waived any jurisdictional defect in connection with this transfer order” “by failing to move for dismissal of the information under SDCL 23A-8-2.” If the transfer hearing were improper, no jurisdiction was obtained. Jurisdictional defects cannot be waived. Petition of Brockmueller, 374 N.W.2d 135 (S.D.1985); Moeller v. Solem, 395 N.W.2d 165, 166 (S.D.1986).
