UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. Damell Feagins, Defendants.,
ORDER
ANDREW L. CARTER, JR., District Judge:
At the August 6, 2021 telephone conference, the parties requested an exclusion of time pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18U.S.C.§3161 until September 14, 2021 to allow newly-appointed defense counsel to better prepare for trial.
The Court finds that the interests of justice are served by such an exclusion to allow newly-appointed defense counsel to better prepare for trial and, that those interests outweigh the interests of the defendant and the public in a speedy trial.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED: the time from August 6, 2021 through September 14, 2021 is excluded in the interests of justice from all calculations under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).
SO ORDERED.
