Defendant may accelerate the Rule 48(b) dismissal deadline by filing a notice to that effect, in which case the dismissal will occur (without further order) at 12:00 p.m. on the 10th business day thereafter; provided, however, that in no event will the dismissal occur less than 30 or more than 90 days from today's date, unless extended by the court for reasons other than ongoing plea negotiations.
