ORDER
The defendant, by and through his counsel, has moved to continue this case until
the next trial term. Doc. 16. The defendant was indicted on January 9, 2024, and had
his arraignment in this Court on January 24, 2024. Docs. 1; 8. No prior continuances
have been granted. The defendant, by and through his counsel, now moves the Court
to continue this case to the next trial term to allow defense counsel additional time to
review the government’s discovery. Doc. 16 ¶ 1. The Court has confirmed the
government does not oppose the motion.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), the Court finds the ends of justice served
by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant
to a speedy trial. Accordingly, the motion (Doc. 16) is GRANTED. The case is
continued from the March term until the Court’s next trial term presently scheduled for
April 22, 2024. The corresponding delay shall be deemed excludable pursuant to the
provisions of the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3161 et seq.
SO ORDERED, this 13th day of February, 2024.
