UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. CORRIE V DAY, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL
TILMAN E. SELF, III, JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
Before the Court is Defendant Corrie Day's Unopposed Motion for Continuance [Doc. 18]. On July 9, 2024, the Government obtained an indictment charging Defendant Day with Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute Fentanyl, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 in connection with 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(C). Defendant entered a plea of not guilty. [Doc. 13].
Defendant seeks a continuance because his counsel needs more time to retrieve and review discovery. [Doc. 18, p. 1]. So as to avoid a miscarriage of justice, the Court GRANTS Defendant's Unopposed Motion for Continuance [Doc. 18] and CONTINUES this case to October 28, 2024. 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
