ANNOTATION
Effect of failure to prove receipt of superfluous mailing on prosecution. When the motor vehicle department undertook to mail to appellee the order of suspension, it was a wholly gratuitous action, and failure to prove that appellee received the superfluous mailing which is not required by law was not fatal to the prosecution of the offense of driving an automobile while her license was under suspension. People v. Neal, 191 Colo. 302, 552 P.2d 508 (1976).
Applied in People v. Mascarenas, 632 P.2d 1028 (Colo. 1981).
