Opinion
Case No. 07-cr-165-PB.
January 28, 2008
ORDER
The defendant, through counsel, has moved to continue the February 5, 2008 trial in the above case, citing the need for additional time to schedule a plea hearing and to resolve issues in this case and in 07-cr-104-SM at the same time. The government does not object to a continuance of the trial date.
Accordingly, for the above reason and to allow the parties additional time to properly prepare for trial, the court will continue the trial from February 5, 2008 to April 1, 2008. In agreeing to continue the trial, the court finds pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3161(h)(8)(A) that for the above-stated reasons, the ends of justice served in granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
SO ORDERED.
