committed to jail, or recognized and held to bail, it is the duty of the district attorney to file an
information in the district court. If the district attorney determines in any such case that an
information ought not to be filed, he or she shall file with the clerk of the district court having
jurisdiction of the supposed offense a written statement containing his or her reasons, in fact and
in law, for not filing an information in the case, and such statement shall be filed within sixty-
three days following the date upon which the offender was held for appearance.
