ORDER
This matter is before the court on defendant's motion for additional time to file pretrial motions [26]. Upon the representation that opposing counsel does not object, the court finds that a 20-day extension should be granted.
IT IS ORDERED that the motion [26] is granted, in part, as follows:
1. The deadline for filing pretrial motions is extended to July 16, 2007.
2. In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A), the court finds that the ends of justice will be served by granting this motion and outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Any additional time arising as a result of the granting of this motion, that is, the time between June 25, 2007 and July 16, 2007, shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirement of the Speedy Trial Act for the reason that counsel require 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)(iv).
