Opinion
Case No. 07-cr-21-01-SM.
August 22, 2007
ORDER
Defendant Farrell's motion to continue the final pretrial conference and trial is granted (document 14). Trial has been rescheduled for the October 2007 trial period. Defendant Farrell shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than September 4, 2007. On the filing of such waiver, this 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: September 19, 2007 at 10:00 a.m.
Jury Selection: October 10, 2007 at 9:30 a.m.
SO ORDERED.
