ORDER GRANTING SECOND CONTINUANCE OF MOTIONS DEADLINE AND SECOND CONTINUANCE OF TRIAL DATE

PHILLIP FIGA, District Judge

This matter is before the Court on defendant's Second Motion to Continue the Deadline for Filing Pretrial Motions and Motion to Continue Trial (Dkt. # 18). For the reasons set forth in defense's motion requesting a continuance of the trial date, the Court finds pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A) that the ends of justice served by granting the motion outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. It is, therefore,

ORDERED that the pretrial motions deadline is extended to April 24, 2006 and responses to these motions shall be filed by May 5, 2006. It is

FURTHER ORDERED that the final trial preparation conference set for March 31, 2006 is CONTINUED to June 1, 2006 at 8:30 a.m., and the two-day jury trial set for April 10, 2006 is CONTINUED to June 12, 2006 at 9:00 a.m.

No further extensions will be granted absent extraordinary circumstances.
