Opinion
Case No. 06-cr-103-PB.
November 21, 2006
ORDER
The defendant has moved to continue the December 5, 2006 trial in the above case, citing the need for additional time for Dr. Drukteinis to complete an examination of the defendant. The government does not object to a continuance of the trial date.
Accordingly, for the above reason and to allow the parties additional time to properly prepare for trial, the court will continue the trial from December 5, 2006 to February 6, 2007. In agreeing to continue the trial, the court finds pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3161(h)(8)(A) that for the above-stated reasons, the ends of justice served in granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
The November 21, 2006 final pretrial conference is continued to January 17, 2007 at 4:15 p.m.
SO ORDERED.
