HAIGLER v. U.S.

Nos. 85-735, 85-1141.

531 A.2d 1236 (1987)

David V. HAIGLER, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided October 6, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

G. Godwin Oyewole and Lawrence M. Baskir, for appellant.

David Schertler, Asst. U.S. Atty., with whom Joseph E. diGenova, U.S. Atty., and Michael W. Farrell, and Blanche L. Bruce, Asst. U.S. Attys., were on brief, for appellee.

Before PRYOR, Chief Judge, and MACK and NEWMAN, Associate Judges.

MACK, Associate Judge:

Appellant argues that his convictions on two counts of armed robbery1 must be reversed, and the indictment against him dismissed, because his right to an expedited trial under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act (IAD or Act), D.C.Code §§ 24-701 et seq. (1981), was violated. We agree with appellant's contention, and dismiss the indictment pursuant to Article V(c) of the IAD.
