Opinion
Case No. 06-cr-144-01-SM.
October 24, 2006
ORDER
Defendant White's motion to continue the final pretrial conference and trial is granted (document 14). Trial has been rescheduled for the January 2007 trial period. Defendant White shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than November 2, 2006. 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: December 15, 2006 at 3:30 p.m.
Jury Selection: January 9, 2007 at 9:30 a.m.
SO ORDERED.
