Opinion
Case No. 05-cr-79-01-SM.
March 7, 2006
ORDER
Defendant's assented-to motion to continue the trial (document no. 24) is granted. Trial has been rescheduled for the April 2006 trial period. Defendant shall file a Waiver of Speedy Trial Rights not later than March 13, 2006. 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 the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.
