UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. ROSBELI FLORES-BELLO, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE IN THE INTEREST OF JUSTICE
TILMAN E. SELF, III, JUDGE.
Before the Court is a Joint Motion for Continuance [Doc. 69] filed by the Government and Defendant Rosbelli Flores-Bello. [Doc. 69, pp. 1-2]. On June 11, 2024, the Government obtained a Superseding Indictment [Doc. 37] charging Defendant Rosbeli Flores-Bello with two counts of Possession of Counterfeit Immigration Document (Counts 5 and 6) in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1546(a). [Doc. 37, pp. 2-3].
So that Defendant Rosbeli Flores-Bello will have an opportunity to fully review discovery the Court GRANTS the Joint Motion for Continuance [Doc. 69]. [Doc. 69, p. 2 ¶ 7]. Accordingly, the Court CONTINUES this case from October 28, 2024, to November 18, 2024, as “failure to grant . . . a continuance . . . would likely . . . result in a miscarriage of justice.” See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(i). The pretrial conference scheduled for September 4, 2024, is CANCELED. [Doc. 68]. The ends of justice served by this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and Defendant Rosbeli Flores-Bello 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.
