Opinion

CR. 09-cr-84-01-SM.

November 24, 2009

ORDER

STEVEN McAULIFFE, District Judge

Defendant Guerrier's motion to continue the final pretrial conference and trial is granted (document no. 19). Trial has been rescheduled for the February 2010 trial period. Defendant Guerrier shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than November 30, 2009. 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 the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.

Final Pretrial Conference is rescheduled for February 5, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. in Room 421.

Jury selection will take place on February 17, 2010 at 9:30 a.m.

SO ORDERED.
