A man accused of supplying class A drugs failed to appear in court as he was suffering with "food poisoning".
Edgar Mendes, 23, from London, was due to stand trial later this month having denied two counts of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs in Norwich between June and November last year.
A pre-trial review was listed at Norwich Crown Court on Tuesday (March 8) but Mendes did not attend as the court heard he was suffering from "food poisoning".
Judge Alice Robinson refixed a five-day trial for July 4.
Ian James appeared for the prosecution while Michael Clare represented Mendes.
The case will next be mentioned on March 21.
