ORDER
Although defendant Somphong Manavong was set for a change of plea hearing today, the assigned Article III judge recused himself this morning and this court's other Article III judge is absent until next week. Because it is not clear when or in front of which judge the change of plea hearing will take place, the attorneys are concerned that the imminent trial date will require them unnecessarily to prepare for trial. To alleviate this concern, I am striking all remaining dates on the calendar. The court will contact counsel next week to tell them what's going to happen next.
