Arraignment Criminal Defense

I was taken to the jail and held for 2 days w/o arraignment. Then I was sited out w/ a notice to appear 31 days later. Does this have any bearing on getting a dismissal?

Unfortunately, no. You have to be taken for arraignment within 2 court days after your arrest. If charges are not filed at that time, you are released. The DA has up to 1 year to file misdemeanor charges against you.
