Opinion

Case No. 07-cr-144-01-SM.

January 3, 2008

ORDER

STEVEN McAULIFFE, District Judge

Defendant Ellison's motion to continue the final pretrial conference and trial is granted (document 30). Trial has been rescheduled for the April 2008 trial period. Defendant Ellison shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than January 17, 2008. On the filing of such waiver, his continuance shall be effective.

The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), in that failure to grant a continuance would unreasonably deny defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.

Final Pretrial Conference: March 21, 2008 at 10:30 a.m.

Jury Selection: April 1, 2008 at 9:30 a.m.

SO ORDERED.
