UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. JASON MORGAN VINSON, Defendant.
ORDER
MARC T. TREADWELL, CHIEF JUDGE.
The parties have moved to continue this case until the next trial term. Doc. 19. The defendant was indicted on June 9, 2021 and had his arraignment in this Court on July 8, 2021. Docs. 1; 12. No. prior continuances have been granted. The parties now move the Court to continue this case to the next trial term to allow additional time for defense counsel to effectively review discovery and prepare. Doc. 19 at 3.
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. 19) is GRANTED. The case is continued from the August term until the Court's trial term presently scheduled for September 13, 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.
