Opinion
Case No. 06-cr-97-01-03/06-SM.
August 27, 2007
ORDER
Defendant Terri Hodgkins's motion to continue the final pretrial conference and trial is granted (document no. 74). Defendant Hodgkins has filed a waiver of speedy trial. Trial has been rescheduled for the December 2007 trial period.
The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), in that failure to grant a continuance would unreasonably deny defendants the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.
Final Pretrial Conference: November 26, 2007 at 2:00 p.m.
Jury Selection: December 4, 2007 at 9:30 a.m.
SO ORDERED.
