Opinion
Case No. 06-cr-201-01-SM.
February 2, 2007
ORDER
Defendant Clark's motion to continue the final pretrial conference and trial is granted (document 11). Trial has been rescheduled for the April 2007 trial period. Defendant Clark shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than February 9, 2007. On the filing of such waiver, his continuance shall be effective.
The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), in that failure to grant a continuance would unreasonably deny defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.
Final Pretrial Conference: March 21, 2007 at 4:30 p.m.
Jury Selection: April 3, 2007 at 9:30 a.m.
SO ORDERED.
