MEMORANDUM OPINION
VIGIL, Judge.
{1} Defendant appeals from his conviction for felony DWI, entered pursuant to a conditional plea, wherein he reserved the right to appeal the district court’s denial of his motion to dismiss on speedy trial grounds. This Court issued a calendar notice proposing to affirm relying, in part, on State v. Hill, 2005-NMCA-143, ¶ 12, 138 N.M. 693, 125 P.2d 1175. Defendant has filed a memorandum in opposition requesting that this Court revisit our holding in Hill. However, given that our holding in Hill was premised on binding New Mexico Supreme Court precedent, we decline to revisit that holding. As a result, we conclude that Defendant has not demonstrated a speedy trial violation. Accordingly, we affirm.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
MICHAEL E. VIGIL, Judge
