UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. GREGORY GALLAGHER, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL IN THE INTERESTS OF JUSTICE
TILMAN E. SELF, III, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
Before the Court is Defendant Gregory Gallagher's Unopposed Motion for Continuance [Doc. 29]. On June 15, 2022, the Government obtained an indictment charging Defendant with Possession of Child Pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(5)(B). [Doc. 1]. Defendant entered a plea of not guilty on July 5, 2022. [Doc. 14].
Defendant seeks a continuance to allow his retained expert more time to complete a review of the evidence. [Doc. 29, p. 1]. So as to avoid a miscarriage of justice, the Court GRANTS Defendant's Unopposed Motion for Continuance [Doc. 29], and this case and its pretrial conference are CONTINUED to the Court's next regularly scheduled Trial Term-June 19, 2023. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv).
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, this 13th day of March, 2023.
