Opinion
Case No. 08-cr-108-01-SM.
May 12, 2009
ORDER
Defendant's assented-to motion to continue the trial to schedule a plea hearing (document no. 16) is granted. Trial has been rescheduled for the July trial period. Defendant shall file a Waiver of Speedy Trial Rights not later than May 26, 2009. On the filing of such waiver, her 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: July 15, 2009 at 4:00 PM Jury Selection: July 21, 2009 at 9:30 AM SO ORDERED.
