Supreme Court of the United States March 6, 1989, 87-1437 (Blanton v. City of North Las Vegas)

Justice Marshall

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The issue in this case is whether there is a constitutional right to a trial by jury for persons charged under Nevada law with driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI). Nev. Rev. Stat. §484.379(1) (1987). We hold that there is not.

DUI is punishable by a minimum term of two days’ imprisonment and a maximum term of six months’ imprisonment.
