Opinion
Case No. 07-cr-133-01-SM.
April 18, 2008
ORDER
Defendant Mwangi's motion to continue the final pretrial conference and trial is granted (document 22). Trial has been rescheduled for the June 2008 trial period. Defendant Mwangi shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than May 1, 2008. 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 defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.
Final Pretrial Conference: May 19, 2008 at 2:30 p.m.
Jury Selection: June 3, 2008 at 9:30 a.m.
SO ORDERED.
