Opinion
Case No. 11-cr-64-01-SM
02-06-2013
United States of America, Plaintiff v. Adrian Tiberiu Oprea, Defendant
ORDER
Defendant Adrian Tiberiu Opera has filed an assented-to Motion to Continue the final pretrial conference and trial for 60 days, which motion is granted (document no. 57). Trial has been rescheduled for the April 2013 trial period. Defendant Oprea shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than February 14, 2013.
The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), in that failure to grant a continuance would unreasonably deny the defendants the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.
Final Pretrial Conference is rescheduled for April 5, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
Jury selection will take place on April 16, 2013 at 9:30 a.m.
SO ORDERED.
