Description
The facts which give rise to this appeal are as follows. On May 11, 1977, John R. Barclay, the Justice of the Peace of the Northwest Phoenix Precinct Justice Court acting for Ronald Johnson, Justice of the Peace for the South Phoenix Precinct Justice Court, issued a complaint charging appellant with the crime of possession of a pistol by a felon. The complaint bore the caption of the South Phoenix Justice Court, and the crime was alleged to have been committed in that precinct. The preliminary hearing was held on May 17, 1977, before Judge Ronald Johnson, the South Phoenix Precinct Justice of the Peace. Appellant filed a motion to dismiss, or, in the alternative, a motion for a new determination of probable cause claiming that Judge Barclay was without jurisdiction to issue the criminal complaint against him. The motion was denied, and appellant thereafter waived his right to a jury trial, and submitted his case to the court for trial.
