Criminal Procedure — continuances

James Duncan appeals from a judgment convicting him of hit and run and operating a motor vehicle with a prohibited blood alcohol concentration (5th or 6th offense). He argues that the circuit court erred when it denied his request for a continuance, made shortly before trial, so that he could retain an expert to address blood alcohol testing results. Under the circumstances of this case, the circuit court did not err when it denied a continuance. We are also not persuaded by Duncan’s challenges to three evidentiary rulings. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
