Opinion
Case Nos. 09-cr-162-01-SM and 09-cr-163-01-SM.
November 5, 2009
ORDER
Defendant Richard Perry's motions to continue the trials are granted (documents no. 10). Defendant has filed a Waiver of Speedy Trial. Trial has been rescheduled for the month of January 2010.
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 scheduled for January 8, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.
Jury selection will take place on January 20, 2010 at 9:30 a.m.
SO ORDERED.
