Opinion

Case No. 07-cr-233-01-SM.

January 31, 2008

ORDER

STEVEN McAULIFFE, District Judge

Defendant Williams' motion to continue the final pretrial conference and trial is granted (document 10). Trial has been rescheduled for the April 2008 trial period. Defendant Cruz shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than February 11, 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: March 17, 2008 at 1:30 p.m.

Jury Selection: April 1, 2008 at 9:30 a.m.

SO ORDERED.
