Syllabus

Accelerated appeal operating a vehicle under the influence OVI administrative license suspension Bureau of Motor Vehicles BMV appeal timeliness. Affirmed the municipal court's order dismissing an appeal of a Bureau of Motor Vehicles administrative license suspension imposed when a driver refused a chemical test after being arrested for operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. The driver failed to comply with the statutory deadline for filing an appeal from the suspension. While the driver alleged that the arresting officer and the BMV were dilatory in instituting and informing him of the suspension, the driver still waited three months to file his appeal even after receiving notice of the suspension. That delay long exceeds the statutory deadline for this kind of appeal.
