Supreme Court of Missouri / Mar 19, 2019
Matthew Carvalho, Appellant, vs. Director of Revenue, Respondent.
Matthew Carvalho appealed the suspension of his driver's license for driving while intoxicated after a breath test showed a BAC of .087 percent. He argued the BAC report was inadmissible due to untimely filing of a maintenance report, and that the implied consent and suspension notices violated due process by being misleading or incomplete. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the suspension, holding that the untimely filing of a maintenance report was a collateral issue not affecting the test's validity, and that the implied consent and suspension notices satisfied due process requirements.
