UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. LUCAS J. LACY, Defendant.
ORDER
Michael D. Nelson, United States Magistrate Judge
A telephone status conference was held today. During the conference Defendant made Unopposed Oral Motion to Continue the Telephone Status Conference to allow for his expert to finishing reviewing the discovery and provide him with a written report which is needed for him to decide how to proceed. The motion was unopposed by the government. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED:
1) Defendant's Unopposed Oral Motion to Continue the Telephone Status Conference is granted.
2) A telephonic status conference with counsel will be held before Magistrate Judge Michael D. Nelson at 11:00 a.m. on July 30, 2024. The parties will use Restricted Order [35] for conference connection instructions.
3) 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 motion 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 July 30, 2024, shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirement of the Speedy Trial Act. Failure to grant this motion would deny counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, and the novelty and complexity of the case. The failure to grant this motion might result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) & (B). Failing to timely object to this order as provided under this court's local rules will be deemed a waiver of any right to later claim the time should not have been excluded under the Speedy Trial Act.
