Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. § 31-27-2.1 (refusal to submit to a chemical test). The District Court held that the trial magistrate’s denial of the defendant’s motion for a continuance in order to prepare for the officer’s testimony regarding the defendant’s alleged marijuana possession constituted harmless error, because the trial magistrate was not influenced by the marijuana evidence in deciding to sustain the charge. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decision of the Appeals Panel.
