California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. MacKey, 176 Cal.App.3d 177, 221 Cal.Rptr. 405 (Cal. App. 1985):

4 The magistrate was in error. The People have 15 days within which to file an information after a defendant has been held to answer. (Pen.Code, 860, 1382, subd. 1; People v. Trujillo (1977) 67 Cal.App.3d 547, 552, 136 Cal.Rptr. 672; People v. Ganger (1950) 97 Cal.App.2d 11, 12, 217 P.2d 41.) The magistrate may have been referring to the 10-day period for lodging the reporter's transcript with the superior court. (Pen.Code, 869.)
