                    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                     MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

           UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

             vs.
                                                 6:25-mj-1031-RMN
           CAROLINA AMESTY



                                    ORDER

               is matter is before the Court without on a Renewed Motion
       for Extension of Time by which Indictment/Information Must be
       Filed (Dkt. 25), filed on July 11, 2025, by the United States.
       Defendant filed a response in which she urged the Court to grant
       requested continuance. Dkt. 31 at 1, 5.
               A hearing was held on the motion on July 22, 2025. Dkt. 34
       (hearing minutes). At the hearing, Defendant’s counsel moved to
       withdraw Defendant’s support for the Government’s request 1 and,
       without presenting extensive argument, orally moved to dismiss the
       criminal complaint. Id.; see also Dkts. 36 (oral motion to withdraw
       joinder), 37 (oral motion to dismiss). I granted Defendant’s oral

       1
         Although Defendant’s counsel withdrew her arguments in support
       of the requested continuance of the indictment deadline, he did not
       state on the record that Defendant intended to withdraw her written
       waiver of the speedy indictment deadline. See Dkt. 23-1 (written
       waiver of speedy indictment deadline through and including August
       22, 2025).

       motion to withdraw support for the requested continuance and
       denied without prejudice the motion to dismiss. Dkts. 38, 39.
               For the reasons stated on the record and those provided by the
       United States in the motion, I find that the ends of justice served by
       a continuance of the deadline through and including August 22,
       2025, outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in
       a speedy trial. See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A).

               Accordingly, it is ORDERED:
               1.    e Government’s Motion for Extension of Time by
       which Indictment/Information Must be Filed (Dkt. 25) is
       GRANTED; and
               2.    e period from July 23, 2025, to and including
       August 22, 2025, is excludable under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7) 2.

               DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida, on July 22,
       2025.

       Counsel of Record

        Given that all the time from January 21 through August 22 has been
       found to be excludable under 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), I calculate
       the speedy trial deadline to be September 21, 2025.
