What are the grounds for dismissal with prejudice under the Speedy Trial Act?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Fox, 788 F.2d 905 (2nd Cir. 1986):

The district court on remand should give reasons for the delay of the trial and state whether that delay makes dismissal with prejudice appropriate in light of "the impact of a reprosecution on the administration of [the Speedy Trial Act] and on the administration of justice," 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3162(a)(2), keeping in mind that dismissal of a criminal indictment is a drastic remedy which should not be lightly considered. See United States v. Brown, 602 F.2d 1073, 1076-77 (2d Cir.1979).
