ZASTROW, Justice
(concurring specially).
I concur in the result on the alternative grounds stated in the majority opinion. It appears to me that the provisions of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers applied to the defendant when he was turned over to the South Dakota authorities on June 8, 1977. Had South Dakota voluntarily returned him to the federal authorities before the state trial, SDCL 23-24A-26 would have required dismissal of these charges. However, because the defendant’s return to the federal authorities was done under a Federal District Court writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum, it was not a voluntary return under SDCL 23-24A-27 and thus dismissal was not required under SDCL 23-24A-26.
