Decided Jan. 6, 1988.
Janine Kern, Asst. Atty. Gen., Pierre, for plaintiff and appellee; Roger A. Tellinghuisen, Atty. Gen., Pierre, on the brief.

MILLER, Justice.
This is an appeal from the denial of a motion to dismiss the State's case against Alan L. Anderson (Anderson) on the basis of an alleged violation of our 180-day rule (SDCL 23A-44-5.1). * We affirm.
A complaint was filed on May 12, 1986, charging Anderson with six counts of uttering a no-account check. Anderson appeared in magistrate court on May 19, 1986. At that time he was given a court-appointed attorney and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 28, 1986. Anderson later waived his right to a preliminary hearing as he wished to engage in plea negotiations with the state's attorney's office.

On June 17, 1986, Anderson appeared in circuit court before Judge Grosshans for arraignment on the six-count information. A not guilty plea was entered and the jury trial was scheduled for July 23, 1986.
Prior to the trial date, both Anderson's counsel and counsel for the State contacted the judge to obtain a continuance of the trial date in order to allow them to continue plea negotiations. The court granted the parties' request for a continuance and scheduled a status hearing for September 24, 1986.
Anderson failed to appear at the status hearing and a warrant for his arrest was issued. However, it was later discovered that Anderson had in fact appeared at the courthouse, but had been directed to the wrong courtroom. The warrant was then withdrawn. In the meantime, Anderson appeared before a Lawrence County Circuit Court Judge on a separate charge and was sentenced to serve four years in the state penitentiary.
While Anderson was in the penitentiary, the parties continued to negotiate a plea bargain. Plea negotiations between the parties remained open during the final months of 1986.
On January 12, 1987, State filed an application for writ of habeas corpus before Judge Grosshans, seeking Anderson's presence before the court on January 15, 1987, for the purpose of having a motion hearing on the...
