The district court's dismissal without prejudice under 18 U.S.C. § 3162(a) (1) is interlocutory and not an appealable order. United States v. Tsosie, 966 F.2d 1357, 1361-62 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 928 (1992).

This court generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3
After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this three-judge panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not be of material assistance in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument
