JOSEPH BATAILLON, District Judge
IT IS ORDERED that a change of plea for the defendant is scheduled before the undersigned in Courtroom No. 3, Third Floor, Roman L. Hruska U.S. Courthouse, 111 South 18th Plaza, Omaha, Nebraska, on June 9, 2006, at 1:30 p.m. Since this is a criminal case, the defendant shall be present, unless excused by the court. If an interpreter is required, one must be requested by the plaintiff in writing five (5) days in advance of the scheduled hearing.
The ends of justice will be served by granting the defendant's request for a short continuance in order to complete plea agreement negotiations, and outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial. The additional time arising from the date of trial to the date of the scheduled change of plea hearing, namely, June 5, 2006, through June 9, 2006, shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirement of the Speedy Trial Act, for the reason that defendant's counsel requires additional time to adequately prepare the case, taking into consideration due diligence of counsel and the novelty and complexity of this case, and the failure to grant additional time might result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(A) (B).
