2. ““A trial de novo is a ‘new trial,’ one which does not strictly speaking, arise out of entry of plea upon a complaint but arises out of an appeal.” Once an action is appealed from justice [court] to district court, it is treated as if it were a new trial. Questions regarding speedy trial in cases concerning new trials are analyzed under the constitutional standards of Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514 , 92 S.Ct. 2182 , 33 L.Ed.2d 101 (1972).”
