UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. KENTER O'NEAL RUFF, Defendant.
ORDER
Max O. Cogburn, Jr., United States District Judge
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Defendant's Unopposed Motion to Continue Docket Call/Trial. (#18). Having considered the matter, the Court enters the following Order.
ORDER
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Defendant's Motion to Continue Docket Call/Trial (#18) is GRANTED, and this matter is continued to the next criminal term. The Court finds that the delay caused by this continuance shall be excluded in accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), as failure to grant such a continuance would deny counsel for Defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. Moreover, the ends of justice served by granting such continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and Defendant in a speedy trial. This matter is continued to the next criminal term, and the time is excluded. The time for filing pretrial motions is ENLARGED by 60 days from entry of this Order.
