1. “"The trial court's interpretation of the rule was correct. The text of the rule controls over the comment.[ [3] ] The rule provides for a five-day period to have the hearing on the notice of expiration, followed by a ten-day period to take the case to trial. In some cases, like the present one, the total time from the filing of the notice of expiration to the last day of the window period will be less than fifteen days."”
