Opinion
CR. No. S-05-155 LKK.
February 3, 2006
TIME EXCLUSION ORDER
Upon motion of the defense, the Court continues this case to March 21, 2006 at 9:30 a.m for Change of Plea. Robert Forkner, counsel for the defendant, is currently in trial and counsel is unavailable to appear until that date. The defendant is not in custody. The continuance is necessary for continuity of counsel.
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 January 31, 2006 through March 21, 2006.
