ORDER
This matter is before the court on the defendant's motion to continue the trial currently set for June 5, 2007. For good cause shown, I find that trial should be continued to June 13, 2007, as requested
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Continue Trial [16] is granted, as follows:
1. The above-entitled case is scheduled for a jury trial before the Honorable Laurie Smith Camp, District Court Judge, to begin Tuesday, June 13, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom No. 2, Third Floor, Roman L. Hruska United States Courthouse, 111 South 18th Plaza, Omaha, Nebraska; because this is a criminal case, defendant(s) must be present in person. Counsel will receive more specific information regarding the order of trial from Judge Smith Camp's staff.
2. In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(A), I find 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 June 5, 2007 and June 13, 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).
