ORDER
JAMES E. GATES, Magistrate Judge.
This case comes before the court on the government's motion (D.E. 16) pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a) to dismiss without prejudice the criminal information (D.E. 1) filed against defendant on 13 July 2010. For the reasons stated in the motion, the court finds that the government's motion is made in good faith and that dismissal of this case is not contrary to the public interest. See United States v. Goodson, 204 F.3d 508, 512 (4th Cir. 2000) (holding that "the court must grant the government's Rule 48(a) motion unless the court concludes that to grant it would be clearly contrary to manifest public interest, determined by whether the prosecutor's motion to dismiss was made in bad faith"). Accordingly, the motion is GRANTED, and the criminal information against defendant is hereby DISMISSED.
SO ORDERED.
