Opinion
Case No. 12-cr-52-PB
05-18-2012
United States of America v. Edward Keating, et al.
ORDER
The defendant has moved to continue the June 5, 2012 trial in the above case, citing newly appointed counsel and the need for additional time to complete discovery and prepare a defense. The government and co-defendant, Ian Fitzmorris, do not object to a continuance of the trial date.
Accordingly, for the above reason and in order to allow the parties additional time to properly prepare for trial, the court will continue the trial from June 5, 2012 to August 21, 2012. In agreeing to continue the trial, the court finds pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3161(h)(7)(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 defendants in a speedy trial.
The May 29, 2012 final pretrial conference is continued to August 1, 2012 at 4:15 p.m.
SO ORDERED.
