Opinion
Case No. 06-cr-70-01-SM.
November 27, 2006
ORDER
Defendant's assented-to motion to continue the trial (document no. 25) is granted. Trial has been rescheduled for the February 2007 trial period. Defendant shall file a Waiver of Speedy Trial Rights not later than December 1, 2006. 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 the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.
