Given the complexity and nature of this case, along with Defendant's decision to terminate his retained counsel, the Court also finds that the ends of justice served by continuing this case outweigh the best interest of the public and Defendant in a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161 (h)(7)(A). Accordingly, Defendant's speedy trial clock is tolled until further order of this Court.
SO ORDERED.
