U.S. v. PALADIN

PAUL BARBADORO, District Judge

The defendant has moved to continue the May 4, 2010 trial in the above case. Defendant cites the need for additional time as counsel was recently appointed and needs time to review discovery. The government does not object to a continuance of the trial date.

Accordingly, in order to allow the parties additional time to properly prepare for trial, the court will continue the trial from May 4, 2010 to August 17, 2010. In agreeing to continue the trial, the court finds pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3161(h)(7)(A) that for the above-stated reasons, the ends of justice served in granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.

The court will hold a final pretrial conference on July 30, 2010 at 2:30 pm.

SO ORDERED.
