Sprague, 146 N.H. at 335-36. To achieve this purpose, Article III of the IAD “establishes a procedure by which a prisoner incarcerated in one party State ... may demand the speedy disposition of any untried indictment, information or complaint on the basis of which a detainer has been lodged against the prisoner by another party State.” Carchman, 473 U.S. at 720 (quotation omitted). “After a detainer has been lodged against him, a prisoner may file a request for a final disposition to be made of the indictment, information, or complaint.” Hill, 528 U.S. at 112 (quotation omitted). Upon receiving such a request, “[t]he authorities in the receiving State then must bring the prisoner to trial within 180 days.” Carchman, 473 U.S. at 721; see also Fex v. Michigan, 507 U.S. 43, 52 (1993) (<HOLDING>). The 180-day period may be extended, however,
holding that a defendant is not entitled to dismissal of an indictment under the iad as no detainer had been lodged against him holding that if the time limits of the iad have been violated the charges underlying the detainer must be dismissed holding that the 180day time period in article 111a of the iad does not commence until the prisoners request for final disposition of the charges against him has actually been delivered to the court and prosecuting officer of the jurisdiction that lodged the detainer against him recognizing that under fex prisoners request for final disposition requires actual delivery to court and prosecuting officer of jurisdiction that lodged detainer against him holding that a criminal defendant is entitled to know the charges against him and to be tried solely upon the charges against him internal quotation marks and citation omitted
