ANNUNZIATA, Judge.

John Arthur Yiaadey ("appellant") was convicted of possession of cocaine in violation of Code § 18.2-250. On appeal, he contends the trial court erred in failing to dismiss his indictment based on alleged violations of his rights under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers ("the IAD"). He further contends the Commonwealth violated his right to a speedy trial under Code § 19.2-243. We find no error and affirm.

I.
