I fully concur in the majority's analysis and disposition of appellant's first assignment of error.
I respectfully dissent as to the majority's disposition of appellant's second assignment of error.  I find the trial court properly admitted the lab reports as business records.  The lab reports establish the requisite foundation for admitting the results of the appellant's blood test.
Appellant had the opportunity to subpoena the chemist responsible for preparing the lab report but failed to do so.
Accordingly, I would overrule appellant's second assignment of error and affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Costs to the State.
