UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. CARINA MALDONADO, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO CONTINUE JURY TRIAL
Hon. William Q. Hayes United States District Court Judge
Upon joint motion of the parties, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Ms. Maldonado's jury trial is rescheduled from November 9, 2021, to January 11, 2022 at 9 a.m. and the motion in limine hearing is rescheduled from November 8, 2021 to January 10, 2022 at 9 am..
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that time is excluded under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(7)(A), because a continuance would serve the interests of justice due to the recent production of cell phone discovery. Additionally, failure to grant a continuance would result in a miscarriage of justice, because the defense would not have enough time to review the phone discovery and prepare for Ms. Maldonado's defense at trial. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(i).
SO ORDERED.
