Summary

A defendant's amended motion to continue filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Peoria Division, in United States v. Mitchell Allen Melega, Case No. 20-CR-40056, docketed as 4:20-cr-40056, as filing #46 of 2 pages, e-filed Wednesday, 02 November, 2022. Through attorney Maribeth Egert Dura of Dura Law Office, Melega states that trial is set for December 5, 2022 with a pre-trial on November 3, 2022, that counsel has received voluminous discovery but needs more time to review it with him, and that he is not ready for trial or to change his plea. The motion says it is made in good faith, that the ends of justice outweigh the parties' interests, and that the U.S. Attorney's Office and the co-defendant do not object; it asks that the pre-trial and trial be continued in the normal course and waives any speedy trial concerns.

                      DEFENDANT’S AMENDED MOTION TO CONTINUE

        Now comes Defendant, MITCHELL ALLEN MELEGA, through his attorney, Maribeth Egert

Dura, and for his Motion to Continue states as follows:

        1.       This matter is set for trial on December 5, 2022. A Pre-Trial is set for November 3, 2022.

        2.       That Defendant’s counsel has received discovery but needs more time to review same

with Defendant, MITCHELL ALLEN MELEGA. The discovery in this matter is voluminous and the

Defendant is not ready for trial or to change his Plea.

        3.       This continuance is made in good faith and the ends of justice would outweigh the

interests of the parties by continuing this pretrial and current trial setting.

        4.       The U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Co-defendant have no objection to a continuance of

the current pretrial and trial dates.

        Wherefore, the Defendant requests that the pre-trial and trial be continued in the normal course

and further Defendant waives any speedy trial concerns due to this continuance.

                                                  MITCHELL ALLEN MELEGA, Defendant,
