UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. MICHAEL DEL VILLAR and ENRIQUE ROSADO, Defendants.
ORDER
Valerie Caproni, United States District Judge
WHEREAS the parties appeared for a conference on June 21, 2021;
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the July 14, 2021 trial date is ADJOURNED to August 23, 2021, subject to the availability of a jury for that date. If by July 23, 2021, the Court has not confirmed that it will be able to pick a jury beginning on August 23, 2021, the Court will adjourn the trial until Q4 2021, with a tentative trial date in October 2021.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the July 6, 2021 Final Pretrial Conference is ADJOURNED sine die. The Court will schedule a FPTC once the trial date has been finalized.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court's prior exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), is extended to October 1, 2021, because the Court finds that the ends of justice served by accommodating logistical difficulties created by the COVID-19 pandemic outweigh the interests of the public and the Defendants in a speedy trial.
SO ORDERED.
