Smith District. The case is presented upon a stipulation of facts. The stipulation contains nothing concerning a trial date, but from the briefs it appears the petitioner may have been tried on these charges on April 19, 1988.\nThe parties are directed to submit a joint pleading or stipulation, to be filed with our Clerk advising whether petitioner has in fact been tried on these charges.\nIT IS SO ORDERED.\nPurtle, J., dissents.",

The petitioner took the only logical course of action available to him after the trial judge denied his motion to dismiss for lack of a speedy trial. He petitioned this court for a writ of prohibition. The fact that there has since been a trial and conviction should have no bearing on the consideration of the merits of the case.\nThe parties appealed on a stipulated record containing all the facts necessary to decide this case.\nThe only remedy for denial of a speedy trial is dismissal. If the petitioner was not timely tried, we should simply dismiss the case. Otherwise, petitions for prohibition in situations such as this are rendered meaningless.",
