V.

CHRISTOPHER SCOTT, AUG 18 2025 Oxm

Defendant.
ee MAS G. BRUTON

THO
Case No. 1:23-cr-97 CLERK, U.S. DISTRICT COURT

MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE

NOW COMES the Defendant, Christopher Scott, appearing pro se, and respectfully moves this
Honorable Court for a continuance of the presently scheduled proceedings. In support of this
Motion, Defendant states as follows:

Mr. Scott is currently a party to pending state criminal proceedings that remain active and
unresolved.

These state matters require his presence at scheduled hearings and involve obligations that
directly overlap with the federal case calendar.

Proceeding at this time would hinder his ability to prepare for both proceedings and prejudice
his defense.

Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 45(b) and 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7), this Court may
grant a continuance upon a showing of 'good cause! or where the 'ends of justice’ served by the
delay outweigh the interest in a speedy trial.

This request is made in good faith and not for purposes of delay.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, Defendant Christopher Scott respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
grant a continuance and reset the matter for a later date that does not conflict with his state
cases.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Christopher Scott
