Description
Floyd Darbin was charged with grand theft (receiving stolen property) and with being a persistent violator. A jury found him guilty of the theft offense, and Darbin entered an admission to the persistent violator status. The district court sentenced Darbin to an indeterminate term of nineteen years in the custody of the Board of Correction. On appeal, Darbin raises three issues: the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to grant a continuance when the state was permitted to amend the information three days before trial; he was denied effective assistance of counsel when trial counsel failed to present a defense; and the trial court abused its sentencing discretion. We affirm without deciding the issue relating to effective assistance of counsel. On that issue, we hold it should be pursued through a petition for post-conviction relief, and not on this direct appeal from Darbins conviction.
