IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA 
CHARLESTON DIVISION 
 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
 
v. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Criminal No. 2:22-00084 
 
MALIK BRECKENRIDGE 
 
MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL AND CASE RELATED ACTION 
The defendant, Malik Breckenridge, by Assistant Federal Public Defender 
Rhett H. Johnson, respectfully moves this Court for an Order continuing the trial and 
all pretrial deadlines for a period of sixty (60) days, and for a finding of excludable 
time under the Speedy Trial Act as found in Title 18, United States Code, Sections 
3161, et seq., for the following reasons: 
1. 
Per the Arraignment Order entered on May 4, 2022, pretrial motions 
were due to be filed on May 13, 2022, and the trial is scheduled to commence on 
June 6, 2022, at 9:00 a.m., before United States District Court Judge Irene C. Berger 
in Charleston.  Dkt. No. 12. 
2. 
The government’s standard discovery responses are not due to be 
received until May 18, 2022.  Upon receipt of these responses, ample time will be 
needed to review this material and consult with Mr. Breckenridge regarding the 
same.  Further, additional investigation and necessary research may need to be 
conducted prior to determining what, if any, motions need to be filed on his behalf. 
3. 
The current pretrial deadlines and trial do not afford counsel sufficient 
time to complete these necessary tasks.

4. 
The undersigned is authorized to state that the government does not 
oppose the relief sought.  
5. 
As Mr. Breckenridge is presently on bond, he will not be prejudiced by 
the requested continuance. 
6. 
The ends of justice outweigh the best interests of the public and the 
defendant in a speedy trial as the same is specifically defined in the aforesaid Act. 
 
The undersigned certifies that the reasons for the request do not include 
general congestion of the Court’s calendar, or lack of diligent preparation on the part 
of the parties involved. 
 
WHEREFORE, Mr. Breckenridge respectfully requests that this Honorable 
Court enter an Order continuing the trial and all related pretrial deadlines for a 
period of sixty days. 
Date:  May 16, 2022.
