Description
Opinion OF THE COURT Appellant filed a pro se petition in the District Court, entitled ""Motion to Dismiss"", naming as the defendant the state judge who presided at his trial which resulted in a conviction of first degree murder. The petition is capable of being treated as either one for a writ of habeas corpus or as a request for some other appropriate but ill-defined relief. We observe that the appellant's major complaint appears to be that he was not brought to trial or enlarged on bail within 180 days after arrest as provided in Pennsylvania's Act of March 31, 1860, P.L. 427 § 54; 19 P.S. § 781. Assuming that such allegations are of constitutional dimension, we have concluded that any delay in trial was precipitated by the appellant's own requests for continuances which were presented at various times by his counsel.
