Ariz. R. Crim. P. 13.2

As amended through December 6, 2023
Rule 13.2 - Timeliness of an Information and Dismissal

The State must file an information in superior court no later than 10 days after a magistrate finds probable cause or the defendant waives a preliminary hearing. If the State fails to file a timely information, a court must dismiss the information if the defendant files a motion seeking that relief under Rule 16.1(b). A dismissal under this rule is without prejudice, but if the prosecution is refiled, the time limits under Rule 8.2 must be computed from the defendant's initial appearance on the original complaint.
