MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

CHERYL R. ZWART, Magistrate Judge.

The government has moved to continue the trial currently set for July 31, 2012. (Filing No. 68). As explained in the motion, the parties are currently engaged in plea discussions. The motion to continue is unopposed. Based on the showing set forth in the motion, the court finds the motion should be granted. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED:

1) The government's motion to continue, (filing no. 68), is granted.

2) The trial of this case is set to commence before the Honorable John M. Gerrard, in Courtroom 1, United States Courthouse, Lincoln, Nebraska at 9:00 a.m. on August 28, 2012, or as soon thereafter as the case may be called, for a duration of fifteen (15) trial days. Jury selection will be held at commencement of trial.

3) Based upon the showing set forth in the government's motion and the representations of counsel, the Court further finds that the ends of justice will be served by continuing the trial; and that the purposes served by continuing the trial date in this case outweigh the interest of the defendant and the public in a speedy trial. Accordingly, as to all defendants, the additional time arising as a result of the granting of the motion, the time between today's date and August 28, 2012, shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirements of the Speedy Trial Act, because despite counsel's due diligence, additional time is needed to adequately prepare this case for trial and failing to grant additional time might result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1), (h)(6) & (h)(7).
