ORDER ON MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE
CLAY D. LAND, Chief District Judge.
Defendant Jeffrey Flakes has moved the Court to continue the pre-trial hearing of his case, presently scheduled for August 5, 2019. The Government does not oppose this motion. Defendant was arraigned on May 1, 2019, and is currently in custody. A continuance is needed because counsel needs more time to conduct and complete a thorough investigation related to the case. The Court finds that it is in the interests of justice to continue the case and for counsel to complete a thorough investigation and that this interests outweigh the interest of Defendant and the public in a speedy trial. Failure to grant a continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice. Accordingly, Defendant's Motion for Continuance [Doc. 22] is GRANTED, and it is hereby ordered that this case shall be continued until the Court's January 2020 trial calendar. The delay occasioned by this continuance shall be deemed excludable pursuant to the provisions of the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. Section 3161.
It is SO ORDERED.
