ORDER
This matter is before the court on defendant's motion for extension of time to file pretrial motions [12]. Upon the filing of the defendant's speedy trial waiver [14], and for good cause shown, the court finds that the motion should be granted.
IT IS ORDERED that defendant's Motion [12] is granted, as follows:
1. The deadline for filing pretrial motions is extended to May 29, 2007.
2. In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(A), the court finds that the ends of justice will be 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 May 8, 2007 and May 29, 2007, shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirement of the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161 because counsel require more time to effectively prepare the case, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. The failure to grant additional time might result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A) (B).
