According to the Federal Speedy Trial Act, 18 US chapter 208, requires that any indictment or information charging a defendant with a crime in federal court must be filed within thirty (30) days of arrest, or service of a summons. The Act only applies to federal prosecutions and its time limits are not activated by a state arrest. The Act’s time limits begin once federal charges are brought by arrest or criminal complaint. Thereafter, the government must indict the defendant within thirty (30) days. The Act also provides, that if official charges are not filed within thirty (30) days, taking into consideration extensions due to excludable time periods, or the trial does not begin within seventy (70) days, the case must be dismissed.
