Opinion
Criminal Case No. 07-cr-00321-LTB.
February 6, 2008
ORDER
Defendant Young requests a continuance under 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161(h)(8)(A) and (B)(iv). For the reasons stated on the record during the February 6, 2008, hearing, I find and conclude that (a) failure to grant a continuance would deny defense counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence; and (b) the ends of justice served by a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and Defendant in a speedy trial.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
1. Defendant's motion to continue [ Docket # 30] is GRANTED;
2. The speedy trial clock is tolled until Friday, May 30, 2008;
3. Trial in this matter is set for Monday, June 2, 2008, at 8:30 am. The March 3, 2008, trial date is VACATED;
4. A final trial preparation conference is set for Friday, May 30, 2008, at 3:00 pm. The February 22, 2008, trial preparation conference is VACATED;
5. An additional status/scheduling hearing is set for Friday, May 9, 2008, at 8:30 am in Courtroom 401 of the Byron G. Rogers United States Courthouse, 1929 Stout Street, Denver, Colorado;
6. Defense counsel shall, during the period in which the speedy trial clock is tolled, file status reports every twenty days.
