v. UNOPPOSED MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL DATE CHRISTERFER FRICK, Defendant.
THIS MATTER comes before the court on Defendant Christerfer Frick’s Motion for a Continuance of the Trial Date. The court has considered the reasons for the motion, the agreement of the United States, and the file herein.
The court finds that the defendant needs additional time to investigate the additional evidence supporting the charges brought by the government in this matter, determine the need for any additional pretrial motions pertaining to the evidence, and prepare for trial.
Based on these findings, the court concludes that the continuance of the trial date sought by the parties serves the ends of justice. Further, the ends of justice served by a continuance of this matter from March 28, 2022 outweighs the best interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A). Proceeding to trial absent adequate time for the defense to prepare could result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(B)(i). Taking LAW OFFICE OF PAULA T.
