ORDER
Counsel for the defendant filed a motion to withdraw as counsel, (Docket Entry No. 14). The motion is granted. The magistrate judge will appoint new counsel for the defendant.
The court finds that this change in counsel will require additional time and finds that the interests of justice are served by granting a continuance and that those interests outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. The docket control order is amended as follows:
