Before McKUSICK, C.J., and NICHOLS, ROBERTS, WATHEN, GLASSMAN, SCOLNIK and CLIFFORD, JJ.


MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.

After a jury trial in Superior Court (Kennebec County) Nelson Donnell was convicted of operating a motor vehicle after being found a habitual offender, 29 M.R.S.A. § 2298 (Supp. 1985-1986). On appeal, he claims that by virtue of a special citizenship status, he had an absolute right to operate a motor vehicle on the public highways without a license. The defendant's theories are unsupportable in law and unworthy of serious discussion.

The entry is:

Judgment affirmed.

All concurring.
