Opinion
Case No. 06-cr-46-01-SM.
August 23, 2007
ORDER
Defendant Herrera's motion to continue the final pretrial conference and trial is granted (document 28). Trial has been rescheduled for the November 2007 trial period. Defendant Herrera shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than September 4, 2007. On the filing of such waiver, his continuance shall be effective. No further continuances absent extraordinary circumstances.
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: October 29, 2007 at 9:30 a.m.
Jury Selection: November 6, 2007 at 9:30 a.m.
SO ORDERED.
