ORDER
This matter is before the court on defendant's unopposed MOTION [24] To EXTEND PRETRIAL MOTION DEADLINE. For good cause shown, I find that the motion should be granted. The defendant will be given an approximate 9-day extension. Pretrial Motions shall be filed by April 23, 2008.
IT IS ORDERED:
1. Defendant's' MOTION [24] To EXTEND PRETRIAL MOTION DEADLINE is granted. Pretrial motions shall be filed on or before April 23, 2008.
2. The ends of justice have been served by granting such motion and outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. The additional time arising as a result of the granting of the motion, i.e., the time between April 14, 2008 and April 23, 2008, shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirement of the Speedy Trial Act for the reason defendant's counsel required additional time to adequately prepare the case, taking into consideration due diligence of counsel, and the novelty and complexity of this case. The failure to grant additional time might result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A) (B).
