If a United States Attorney's Office intends to voluntarily dismiss an indictment, information, or complaint in a criminal case involving a felony violation of any of the statutes identified in JM 5-11.101, except when a superseding indictment has been returned or an information or a complaint has been filed against the same defendant or when the individual defendant has died, notification of the intent to dismiss shall be provided to ECS so that it is received no later than seven days prior to dismissal. In any case handled exclusively by ECS, the Section shall provide equivalent notice to the United States Attorney's Office if voluntary dismissal is contemplated.
