UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. SAUL BAUTISTA, Defendant.


ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL IN THE INTERESTS OF JUSTICE

TILMAN E. SELF, III, JUDGE, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

Before the Court is Defendant Saul Bautista's Motion for Continuance [Doc. 19]. On April 9, 2024, the Government obtained an indictment charging Defendant with Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute Fentanyl, Possession with Intent to Distribute Fentanyl, and Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Crime. [Doc. 1]. Defendant entered a plea of not guilty on August 14, 2024. [Doc. 11].

In violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 in connection with § 541(a)(1) & (b)(1)(C).

In violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 in connection with § 541(a)(1) & (b)(1)(C) and 18 U.S.C. § 2.

In violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2; 924(c)(1)(A).

Defendant seeks a continuance to allow his counsel to receive and review discovery, as well as continue plea negotiations with the Government. [Doc. 19, pp. 12]. So as to avoid a miscarriage of justice, the Court GRANTS Defendant's Motion for Continuance [Doc. 19], and CONTINUES this case to October 28, 2024. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).

The ends of justice served by this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and Defendant in a speedy trial and are in accordance with the considerations required under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) for excusable delay.

SO ORDERED
