ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED MOTION CONTINUE TRIAL SETTING FOR MARCH 5, 2018
JAMES O. BROWNING, District Judge.
THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE COURT, through Defendant, JONATHAN ROMO-RIVERA, by and through his attorney of record, Santiago E. Juarez, Esq., to continue the Trial Setting for March 5, 2018 at 9:00 am.
THE COURT BEING APPRISED in the basis for the requested relief and finding good cause for the granting of the motion. Assistant US Attorney, Shana Long, is not opposed to the requested relief.
The requested continuance is in the best interest of justice and in the best interest of Mr. Romo-Rivera. This request is not for the purpose of delay or to gain an unfair advantage by either party to this action.
DEFENDANT HEREBY STIPULATES that he waives his rights to a speedy trial under 18 U.S.C. § 3161, to the extent that the period of time from March 5, 2018.
IT IS THE FINDING OF THE COURT that the motion should be and hereby is GRANTED. The Trial Setting for March 5, 2018, is hereby reset for March 26, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. (trailing docket).
After weighing the best interests of the public and of the Defendant with the
ends of justice, the Court finds that granting a continuance will strike a proper
balance between the ends of justice and the best interests of the public and of
the Defendant for the reasons stated in the motion requesting a continuance,
filed March 2, 2018 (Doc. 31). Specifically, the Defendant's need to get a pla
date set, outweigh the Defendant's and the public's interest in a speedy trial.
See 18 U.S.C. Section 3161(h)(7). The Court will set the trial for
March 26, 2017. This 21 day continuance is sufficient, without being
greater than necessary, for the Defendant to complete the tasks set forth in the
motion to continue.
