ORDER

This matter is before the court on the Defendant's Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial [23]. Counsel is seeking a 13 month continuance to allow the parties an opportunity to execute a pretrial diversion agreement. For good cause shown,

IT IS ORDERED that the Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial [23] is granted as follows:

1. The jury trial, now set for April 3, 2018, is continued to May 8, 2019. 2. The defendant shall file an affidavit waiving speedy trial forthwith.

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 defendant 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 May 8, 2019, 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)(7)(A) & (B)(iv).
