1. “First, we must “determine whether there is a technical violation of the Rule by applying either subsections (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3) or (a)(4).[”] Commonwealth v. Senft, 591 A.2d at 319 (citation omitted). Second, we must “determine whether any time should be excluded from the three hundred sixty-five (365) days under subsection (c).” Id. at 320 (citation omitted). Finally, we must “determine at the hearing on the petition to dismiss whether, despite the technical violation of the three hundred and sixty-five (365) days, the Commonwealth has with due diligence attempted to bring the matter to trial and whether the delay was beyond the control of the Commonwealth.” Id.”
