The following excerpt is from Carpino v. Demosthenes, 952 F.2d 406 (9th Cir. 1991):
The right to a speedy trial is secured by the Sixth Amendment. The determination whether a violation has occurred must be made with reference to four factors: the length of the delay, the reason for the delay, whether the defendant asserted this right and whether any prejudice occurred.
