ORDER

W. PEPPER JR., District Judge

This matter comes before the court upon Defendant Sheila Al-Sanabani's sixth motion to continue [108]. After due consideration of the motion, the court finds as follows, to-wit:

Trial is currently set to begin on Monday, November 3, 2008. Trial has been continued on at least seven previous occasions. Defense counsel requests another continuance to accommodate the national election on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. The court concludes that this is not a permissible basis upon which to continue a trial pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161. Accordingly, the motion should be denied. The court, however, will grant a recess all day on Tuesday, November 4, 2008 to accommodate the election.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant Sheila Al-Sanabani's sixth motion to continue [108] is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
