April 21, 2008

The defendant, through counsel, has moved to continue the May 6, 2008 trial in the above case to allow additional time for defendant to complete an in-patient drug rehabilitation program and to engage in plea negotiations prior to trial.

Accordingly, for the above reason and to allow the parties additional time to properly prepare for trial, the court will continue the trial from May 6, 2008 to July 8, 2008. In agreeing to continue the trial, the court finds pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3161(h)(8)(A) that for the above-stated reasons, the ends of justice served in granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial
The April 22, 2008 final pretrial conference is continued to June 23, 2008 at 3:45 p.m.
SO ORDERED.
