Opinion
CRIMINAL ACTION NO. 1:08CR129-P-D.
April 14, 2009
ORDER
This cause is before the court on defendant Peters Motion for Continuance [14]. The Court, having reviewed the motion and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, finds as follows, to-wit:
The trial of this matter is currently set for April 27, 2009. Counsel for the defendant represents in the motion that he needs additional time to complete an adequate review of discovery material. Defendant's counsel seeks a continuance in order to permit an adequate inspection of the material and in order to ensure proper attention to preparation of pretrial motions and for trial. The government does not oppose the requested continuance.
These circumstances enable the Court to exclude, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), the period of delay from April 27, 2009 until the new trial date to be set in this matter.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that
1. The defendant's Motion for Continuance [14] is GRANTED;
2. That the trial of this matter is continued until Monday, June 8, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. in the United States District Courthouse in Greenville, Mississippi;
3. That the delay from April 27, 2009 until June 8, 2009 is excluded as set out above;
4. That the deadline for filing pretrial motions is May 18, 2009;
5. That the deadline for submitting a plea agreement is May 26, 2009.
SO ORDERED.
