ORDER ON MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE
CLAY D. LAND, District Judge.
Defendant Jeffrey Flakes has moved the Court to continue the pre-trial hearing of his case, presently scheduled for June 4, 2019. The Government does not oppose this motion. Defendant was arraigned on May 1, 2019, and is currently in custody. Additional time is needed for pre-trial investigation, legal research and to enter into plea negotiations between the defendant and government if warranted. The Court finds that it is in the interest of justice to allow the parties to complete investigation and to explore possible plea negotiations and that these interests outweigh the interest of Defendant and the public in a speedy trial. Failure to grant a continuance would deny counsel reasonable time for effective preparation and could result in a miscarriage of justice. Accordingly, Defendant's Motion for Continuance [Doc. 19] is GRANTED, and it is hereby ordered that this case shall be continued until the Court's September 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.
