ORDER
Michael D. Nelson, United States Magistrate Judge.
This matter is before the court on the defendant, Gary Lockett's unopposed Motion to Continue Trial [196]. Counsel needs additional time to conduct plea negotiations. Cocounsel for defendant Kashaun L. Lockett has indicated he does not oppose the motion. For good cause shown, IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Continue Trial [196] is granted, as follows:
1. The jury trial, for both defendants, now set for June 12, 2023, is continued to July 17, 2023.
2. In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), the court finds that the ends of justice will be served by granting this continuance and outweigh the interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial. Any additional time arising as a result of the granting of this motion, that is, the time between today's date and July 17, 2023 shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirement of the Speedy Trial Act. Failure to grant 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)(6), (7)(A) & (B)(iv).
