John H. Wilson writes: In the concurring opinions in 'People v. Sibblies,' the Court of Appeals has provided two different ways to view the People's off-calendar statement of readiness. But the underliying issue, that of the validity of the People's statement of readiness, particularly in light of a subsequent statement of non-readiness, remains of constant concern to the criminal law practitioner.

For most practitioners of criminal law, receipt of an off-calendar statement of readiness from the People is routine. However, the question of whether or not that statement is an accurate pronouncement of the People’s status has been rarely addressed.
Now, in People v. Sibblies,1 the Court of Appeals has dishonored an off-calendar statement of readiness, leading to the dismissal of a misdemeanor information.
