UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. GUZMAN MARTINEZ, et al., Defendant.
ORDER
P. KEVIN CASTEL, U.S.D.J.
Upon the application of the government, a pretrial conference is scheduled for October 20, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. I find that the ends of justice will be served by granting a continuance and that taking such action outweighs the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. The reasons for this finding are that the grant of the continuance is needed to allow the parties time to produce and review discovery and to engage in discussions regarding a potential pretrial resolution of this matter; and, to provide for mandatory exclusion of any period of delay resulting from any proceeding relating to the removal of any defendant from another district or from the transportation of any defendant from another district. Accordingly, the time between today and October 20, 2021 is excluded.
SO ORDERED.
