UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. BROOKE MCMANAMAN, and JANELLE NIGHTWALKER, Defendants.
ORDER
Michael D. Nelson United States Magistrate Judge
This matter is before the Court on the defendant, Brooke McManaman's Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial [57]. Defendant requests a continuance to complete treatment. Counsel for the government and co-defendant Janelle Nightwalker do not object to a continuance. For good cause shown, IT IS ORDERED that the Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial [57] is granted, as follows:
1. The jury trial, for both defendants, currently set for February 12, 2024, is continued to April 1, 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 defendants 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 April 1, 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 make a continuation of the trial impossible, or result in a miscarriage of justice, or 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)(i), (iv).
