Opinion
Case No. 09-cr-88-01/07-SM.
November 24, 2009
ORDER
Defendant's motion to continue the trial for sixty days (document no. 100) is granted. No further continuances will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances.
Trial has been rescheduled for the February trial period. Defendant Casas shall file a Waiver of Speedy Trial Rights not later than November 30, 2009.
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 defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.
Final Pretrial Conference: February 5, 2009 at 2:30 PM Jury Selection: February 18, 2010 at 9:30 AM SO ORDERED.
