BAKER, Chief Judge.

Appellant-plaintiff State of Indiana (the State) appeals the trial court’s grant of appellee-defendant Christopher Smith’s motion to dismiss pending criminal charges based on an alleged violation of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act (IAD). 1 Specifically, the State argues that the trial court’s grant of the motion to dismiss was premature because Smith failed to comply with the provisions regarding his request for a final disposition of charges pursuant to the IAD.
