Within ninety days after the receipt of the request and certificate by the court and
prosecuting official or within such additional time as the court for good cause shown in open
court may grant, the prisoner or the prisoner's counsel being present, the indictment,
information, or complaint must be brought to trial, but the parties may stipulate for a continuance
or a continuance may be granted on notice to the attorney of record and opportunity for the
attorney to be heard. If, after such a request, the indictment, information, or complaint is not

court shall dismiss it with prejudice.
