Tiffany Haddish says her DUI case has dragged on so long it should be thrown out ... but prosecutors are firing back, arguing the actress hasn't shown the delay actually hurt her.
According to new court documents, obtained by TMZ, the State of Georgia is urging a judge to reject Haddish's motion to dismiss the case, which stems from her January 2022 DUI arrest in Peachtree City.
Prosecutors acknowledge the more-than-four-year delay weighs against them, but they insist it wasn't intentional and shouldn't carry much weight. They also argue Haddish announced she was ready for trial, but never actually requested an immediate trial -- a distinction they say matters under Georgia law.

Tiffany Haddish's Georgia DUI case is still dragging on ... but, she won a minor legal victory Wednesday when a judge ruled the results of one field sobriety test and statements she made to cops at the time can't be presented at trial.
A Fayette County Court judge ruled Wednesday that the officer who arrested Haddish incorrectly administered the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus -- or HGN -- test ... the well-known field sobriety test where an officer asks a suspected impaired driver to follow a light or finger with just their eyes.
The judge says Haddish told the officer at the time she had a lazy eye ... but he didn't ask any questions about it and administered the test without considering how it might affect the results. As such, the court found the test was not applied in a reliable manner so the results can't be used in the case against her.

If Britney violates any conditions of during her probation, she could be sentenced to jail.
