UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. ALLEN GREEN, Defendant
ORDER
MICHAEL D. NELSON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter is before the court on the defendant's unopposed Motion to Continue Trial [25]. For the reasons set forth in the motion and for good cause shown, the motion is granted. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the unopposed Motion to Continue Trial [25] is granted as follows:
1. The jury trial, now set for August 6, 2024, is continued to October 8, 2024.
2. In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), the court finds that the ends of justice will be served by granting this continuance and outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Any additional time arising as a result of the granting of this motion, that is, the time between today's date and October 8, 2024, shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirement of the Speedy Trial Act. Failure to grant a continuance would deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(6), (7)(A) & (B)(iv).
