Driver waived his right to an arraignment for the new sexual assault and gun charges filed last week.
Prosecutors believed he kidnapped Irion then sexually assaulted her before killing her and burying her body in a rural area of Churchill County.
The next time Driver will appear in court will be for his pretrial on Sep. 13.
A judge will also hear arguments from the defense on why they believe the murder charge should be dismissed.

That will be the first time Driver will be at court in-person and not virtually.
