Smart Summary Please sign up to generate summary. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JAMES L. PARSONS, III, Defendant. ORDER F. GOSSETT, Magistrate Judge This matter is before the court on defendant's motion to continue trial (Doc. 15). A two-month continuance is requested due to the defendant's unspecified "special health needs" and because the defense has not yet reviewed a video which, it appears, was made available for inspection some time ago. The court finds that the defendant has not shown good cause for a continuance of the scheduled trial date. Nor has the defendant filed an affidavit or declaration in support of this motion, as required by NECrimR 12.1(a). For these reasons, IT IS ORDERED that defendant's Motion to Continue Trial (Doc. 15) is denied. The trial of this matter remains scheduled for January 19, 2010. A party may object to this order by filing an "Objection to Magistrate Judge's Order" no later than January 8, 2010. The objecting party must comply with all requirements of NECrimR 59.2.
