04-14-08 State of New Jersey v. Forrest M. Baker, Sr.
A-6018-05T4
Defendant, a federal inmate at the Fort Dix Correctional
Facility in Wrightstown, was produced for pre-trial appearances
and for trial in the Law Division by way of the judge's "order
to produce." We concluded that defendant's pre-trial motion to
dismiss the indictment pursuant to the "anti-shuttling"
provision of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (IAD),
N.J.S.A. 2A:159A-4, was properly denied. Because a writ of
habeas corpus ad prosequendum is not a detainer for IAD
purposes, the statute was not triggered and the motion was
properly denied.
