CLAYVEON HOWARD )
MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE

Comes the Defendant, Clayveon Howard, by and through his attorney, John Barttelt, and
for his motion states as follows:

1. CJA Counsel was appointed on February 17, 2022.

2. A trial is currently set for March 28, 2022.

6. The Defendant is charged with Felon in Possession of a Firearm 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1).

7. Counsel needs time to properly receive discovery, investigate and prepare a defense.
Counsel has conferred with the Unites States Attorney Amanda Fields and she has no
objection to this motion.

8. As both parties agree to this Motion, any time period from the date of the Order
granting continuance up to and including the new date for the trial to begin would be
excluded from Speedy Trial. The ends of justice will be served by allowing parties
additional time to receive full discovery and properly prepare their cases and/or discuss
plea negotiations and a continuance outweighs the best interests of the parties and the

Public in a speedy trial.
