Opinion
Case No. 11-cr-23-PB
08-29-2011
ORDER
The defendant has moved through counsel to continue the September 7, 2011 trial in the above case citing the need for additional time to engage in plea negotiations or prepare for trial. The government does not object to a continuance of the trial date.
Accordingly, in order to allow the parties additional time to properly prepare for trial, the court will continue the trial from September 7, 2011 to October 4, 2011. In agreeing to continue the trial, the court finds pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3161(h)(7)(A) that for the above-stated reasons, the ends of justice served in granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
The August 30, 2011 final pretrial conference is continued until September 29, 2011 at 2:00 p.m.
SO ORDERED.
