UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. JEFFERY LAMAR ACREE, Defendant.


ORDER

MARC T. TREADWELL, CHIEF JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

The defendant, by and through his counsel, has moved the Court to continue this case to the next trial term. Doc. 22. The defendant was indicted on April 11, 2023, and had his arraignment in this Court on May 24, 2023. Docs. 1; 12. No prior continuances have been granted. The defendant, by and through his counsel, now moves the Court to continue this case to the next trial term to provide additional time for defendant's counsel to complete defense investigations as it relates to the government's discovery and, if warranted, to explore plea negotiations with the government. Doc. 22 at 2. The government does not oppose the motion. Id.

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), the Court finds the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant to a speedy trial. Accordingly, the motion (Doc. 22) is GRANTED. The case is continued from the July term until the Court's trial term presently scheduled for September 11, 2023. The corresponding delay shall be deemed excludable pursuant to the provisions of the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161 et seq.

SO ORDERED,
