UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
AUGUSTA DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
V.
LA'KYERA ME'LIKA THURMOND
CR123-021
ORDER
Presently pending before the Court is the parties' joint motion for continuance of jury
selection and trial [Doc. 43] filed on November 6, 2023.
After careful consideration, the Court finds that this request has not been made for the
purposes of undue delay but in the interest of justice. The Court further finds that the ends of
justice served by granting such a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and the
defendants in a speedy trial.
Accordingly, after consideration of the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), and
finding just cause to support the same, the Court GRANTS the continuance, and excludes from
the time calculation under the Speedy Trial Act the time between the making of the motion and
the new trial date.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to continue is GRANTED [Doc. 43].
Jury Selection and Trial in this matter are hereby continued until such time as rescheduled by the
Court.
SO ORDERED, 
this 
day of November, 2023.
