UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. DARRYL McCALL Defendant.
ORDER
CLAY D. LAND, U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
A pretrial conference is currently scheduled for September 23, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. so that this case can be set down for trial during the Court's upcoming jury trial term set for December 2024. Defendant moves for a continuance of the pretrial conference and the trial. Specifically, Defendant needs additional time to review discovery, to discuss discovery and possible defenses with counsel, and to discuss a possible resolution with the Government. The Government consents to the continuance.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the above-referenced matter be continued to next term of Court set for March 2025, and that the Speedy Trial deadline for the trial in this matter imposed by 18 U.S.C. § 3161(c)(1) be extended to that time. The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting of this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial because a failure to grant such continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice and would deny counsel for the Defendant and Government the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation. 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(7)(A)-(B). The delay occasioned by this continuance shall not be considered in calculating the speedy trial deadline under the Speedy Trial Act.
SO ORDERED.
