UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. DAVID J. CAIVANO
Hon. Stanley R, Chesler
ORDER
This matter having been opened to the Court on the joint application of Paul J. Fishman, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey (Anthony Moscato, Assistant U.S. Attorney, appearing), and defendant David J. Caivano (Victor Sherman, Esq. and David T. Shivas, Esq.), and good cause having been shown, the Court makes the following findings:
1. As represented by and through counsel, defendant Caivano is physically unable to stand trial or meaningfully participate in his defense. As such, the Court finds that defendant Caivano is, at the present time, physically unable to stand trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(4).
2. The failure to grant such a continuance in the proceedings would be likely to result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(i).
3. The ends of justice served by granting a continuance of the trial date outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h) (7) (A).
IT IS, therefore, on this 15 day of October, 2012
ORDERED that the trial date in this matter is continued from October 17, 2012 through and including January 15, 2013, and that the period of time shall be excluded for the purposes of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act; and it is further
ORDERED that the return date for pretrial motions and the date for trial will be determined by the Court contingent on defendant Caivano's physical ability to stand trial.
