UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. DONALD L. BLANKENSHIP, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
The Court has reviewed the Defendant's Emergency Motion to Reschedule the Trial Date (Document 369), the United States' Response in Opposition to Defendant's Emergency Motion to Reschedule the Trial Date (372), the Reply in Support of Emergency Motion to Reschedule the Trial Date, and the Defendant's Notice of Supplemental Authority in Support of Emergency Motion to Reschedule the Trial Date (Document 376). Further, the Court has reviewed the prior motions to continue, as well as the Defendant's motions seeking production of discovery material, and after careful consideration, finds the Defendant has failed to set forth good cause for a postponement of the current trial date.
Wherefore, the Court does hereby ORDER that the Defendant's Emergency Motion to Reschedule the Trial Date (Document 369) be DENIED.
The Court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to the Defendant and counsel, to the United States Attorney, to the United States Probation Office, and to the Office of the United States Marshal.
