OMVWOOC
Sufficiency of the complaint; probable cause

Olton Lee Dumas appeals from a judgment of conviction for taking and driving a motor vehicle without the owner's consent as a repeat offender. Dumas argues that: (1) the circuit court was deprived of competency because the complaint was insufficient, and did not confer jurisdiction on the court to proceed with a preliminary hearing; (2) there was insufficient evidence at the preliminary hearing to support the charge; (3) the district attorney failed to examine all the facts and circumstances at the preliminary hearing before filing the information; (4) the district attorney did not properly exercise discretion before filing the information; and (5) the circuit court applied the wrong standard of review when it denied Dumas' motion to dismiss the information. Because we conclude that none of Dumas' arguments have merit, we affirm the judgment of conviction. This opinion will not be published.
