Opinion
Criminal No. 5-cr-215-01-B.
January 30, 2006
ORDER
The defendant has moved to continue the February 7, 2006 trial in the above case. Defendant cites the need for additional time to investigate this matter, prepare for trial or complete plea negotiations. The government does not object to a continuance of the trial date.
Accordingly, in order to allow the parties additional time for negotiations and/or properly prepare for trial, the court will continue the trial from February 7, 2006 to May 2, 2006. 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.
A final pretrial will be held on April 21, 2006 at 3:45pm.
SO ORDERED.
