                               MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
       Before the Court is Defendant’s Motion to Continue Trial Date (Doc. [76]). Trial in
this matter is currently set for June 8, 2026. Counsel states additional time is needed to
finalize the documents needed to enroll Defendant in a pretrial diversion program. The
Government does not oppose Defendant’s motion, and Defendant has filed an executed
Waiver of Speedy Trial (Doc. [76]-1).
       For the reasons stated in Defendant’s motion, the Court finds that to deny
Defendant’s request for a continuance “would deny counsel . . . the reasonable time
necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence,” 18
U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(iv), and that “the ends of justice served by the granting of such
continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy
trial.” 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). Accordingly,
       IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to Continue (Doc. [76]) is GRANTED.
       IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that trial in this matter is continued to July 6, 2026, at
9:00 a.m., in the courtroom of the undersigned.
       IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that the time between June 8, 2026, and July 6, 2026, is
excluded from the computation of time under the Speedy Trial Act, pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
§ 3161(h)(7).
       Dated this 29th day of May, 2026.
                                               _______________________________________
                                               MARIA A. LANAHAN
                                               UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
