Opinion
CR. No. S-05-155 LKK.

TIME EXCLUSION ORDER
Upon motion of the defense, the Court continues the next status conference in this case to November 15, 2005 at 9:30 a.m. Robert Forkner substituted as counsel for Eduardo Zazueta Garcia on September 7, 2005. According to Mr. Forkner, the discovery in the case was misdirected to another office and he only received the discovery several ago. The continuance is necessary for counsel adequately to review the discovery provided by the government, to conduct further investigation, and to consider possible resolution of the case. Thus, the requested continuance is for effective and diligent preparation.
The Court finds that the interests of justice served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(8)(A), 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), and time, therefore, will be excluded from October 20, 2005 through November 15, 2005.
