Opinion
Case No. 11-cr-176-01-SM
05-04-2012
United States of America, Plaintiff v. Anthony Silva, Defendant
ORDER
Defendant Anthony Silva has filed an Assented to Motion to Continue the final pretrial conference and trial for 30 days, which motion is granted (document no. 30). Defendant Silva has filed a Waiver of Speedy Trial. Trial has been rescheduled for the June 2012 trial period.
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 the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the circumstances.
Final Pretrial Conference is rescheduled for June 7, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.
Jury selection will take place on June 19, 2012 at 9:30 a.m.
SO ORDERED.
