UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. CHARLES MANN, Defendant.
ORDER
MARC T. TREADWELL, CHIEF JUDGE
The defendant, by and through his counsel, has moved to continue this case until the next trial term. Doc. 23. Defendant was indicted on June 9, 2021 and had his arraignment in this Court on July 12, 2021. Docs. 1; 6. One prior continuance has been granted. Doc. 21. The defendant, by and through his counsel, now moves the Court to continue this case to the next trial term to allow defendant and his counsel additional time to meet in person and determine next steps in the case. Doc. 23 at 2. The government does not oppose the motion. Id.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), the Court finds the ends of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant to a speedy trial. Accordingly, the motion (Doc. 23) is GRANTED. The case is continued from the September term until the Court's trial term presently scheduled for November 15, 2021. The corresponding delay shall be deemed excludable pursuant to the provisions of the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161 et seq.
SO ORDERED.
