UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. RYAN T. LOGAN, Defendant.
ORDER
Michael D. Nelson, United States Magistrate Judge
This matter is before the court on the Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial [80]. After consultation with counsel, the undersigned magistrate judge finds good cause for the requested continuance in order for necessary investigations to be completed and to allow the parties sufficient time to finalize their plea negotiations. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial [80] is granted, as follows:
1. The jury trial now set for April 29, 2024, is continued to June 3, 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 June 3, 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)(7)(A) & (B)(iv).
3. No further continuances will be granted.
