UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. MELVIN NATHAN BELTRE and ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ, Defendants.
ORDER
JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge:
The parties are directed to appear for a conference on September 28, 2021 at 9:00 a.m.
Because a continuance is needed to assure the effective assistance of counsel and to allow the parties to discuss a disposition short of trial, the Court prospectively excludes the time from today, July 27, 2021, until September 28, 2021, from Speedy Trial Act calculations. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting the continuance outweigh the best interest of the defendants and the public in a speedy trial. This Order is entered pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).
SO ORDERED.
