Opinion
Case No. 10-40089-RDR.
October 13, 2010
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO EXTEND MOTIONS DEADLINE
The court hereby grants defendants' joint motion to extend the motions deadline from October 26, 2010. The Court sets the deadline for filing motions on January 26, 2011, sets the deadline for the government's response on February 7, 2011, and sets the hearing on all motions for February 18, 2011 at 9:30 a.m.
Counsel for Ms. King and Mr. Silberman have been unable to review discovery because it was only recently obtained. Further, counsel for Mr. Silberman needs time to accommodate his client who will undergo extensive surgery on October 22, 2010, requiring three months of recovery. Based on these reasons, the Court finds the continuance will not prejudice the parties, is necessary for an effective defense, and that the need for a continuance outweighs the interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, as set out in 18 U.S.C. 3161(h)(7).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 13th day of October, 2010.
