ORDER GRANTING CONTINUANCE
SHARION AYCOCK, District Judge.
Defendant Rickey Robertson has filed a Motion to Continue [38] the July 24, 2017, trial setting and other deadlines in this cause. Grounds for the continuance of this trial are based on the fact that Defendant's counsel has been unable to adequately prepare for trial due to the voluminous amount of discovery and its ongoing nature. The Government does not oppose the motion.
It appears to the Court that the motion for continuance is well taken and that the same should be granted. It further appears to the Court and the Court so finds, that the ends of justice will be served by granting the subject continuance, and that such action outweighs the best interest of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial.
THEREFORE, it is hereby ORDERED, that the pending Motion to Continue [38] is GRANTED and that the trial of this matter is CONTINUED, as to the Defendant, from July 24, 2017, until September 25, 2017, in Aberdeen, Mississippi at 9:40 a.m. The plea agreement deadline is reset for September 11, 2017. The pre-trial motion deadline is reset for August 28, 2017. The discovery deadline is further extended to August 21, 2017.
It is further ORDERED that the delay from this date until commencement of the trial shall be excluded from all computations relative to the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), as to all Defendants.
SO ORDERED.
