§ 2a:159a-4.

ARTICLE IV (a) The appropriate officer of the jurisdiction in which an untried indictment, information

or complaint is pending shall be entitled to have a prisoner against whom he has lodged

a detainer and who is serving a term of imprisonment in any party State made available

in accordance with Article V(a) hereof 1 upon presentation of a written request for temporary custody or availability to the

appropriate authorities of the State in which the prisoner is incarcerated: provided

that the court having jurisdiction of such indictment, information or complaint shall

have duly approved, recorded and transmitted the request: and provided further that

there shall be a period of 30 days after receipt by the appropriate authorities before

the request be honored, within which period the Governor of the sending State may

disapprove the request for temporary custody or availability, either upon his own

motion or upon motion of the prisoner. (b) Upon receipt of the officer's written request as provided in paragraph (a) hereof,

the appropriate authorities having the prisoner in custody shall furnish the officer

with a certificate stating the term of commitment under which the prisoner is being

held, the time already served, the time remaining to be served on the sentence, the

amount of good time earned, the time of parole eligibility of the prisoner, and any

decisions of the State parole agency relating to the prisoner. Said authorities simultaneously shall furnish all other officers and appropriate

courts in the receiving State who have lodged detainers against the prisoner with

similar certificates and with notices informing them of the request for custody or

availability and of the reasons therefor. (c) In respect of any proceeding made possible by this Article, trial shall be commenced

within 120 days of the arrival of the prisoner in the receiving State, but for good

cause shown in open court, the prisoner or his counsel being present, the court having

jurisdiction of the matter may grant any necessary or reasonable continuance. (d) Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to deprive any prisoner of

any right which he may have to contest the legality of his delivery as provided in

paragraph (a) hereof, but such delivery may not be opposed or denied on the ground

that the executive authority of the sending State has not affirmatively consented

to or ordered such delivery. (e) If trial is not had on any indictment, information or complaint contemplated hereby

prior to the prisoner's being returned to the original place of imprisonment pursuant

to Article V(e) hereof, such indictment, information or complaint shall not be of

any further force or effect, and the court shall enter an order dismissing the same

with prejudice. 1
