ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

CONTINUE TRIAL

Defendants’ request for a continuance has been received and

reviewed. 

The Court recognizes that a new attorney has been assigned

to this case. However, that assignment appears to have been made

on or before April 4, 2005, when a trial date was set in this

case. 

This case is six years old and one of the oldest on the

Court’s docket. At this juncture, despite the fact Defendants’

counsel has other cases, such cases must take a subordinate

position in the interest of the fair and prompt administration of

justice. 

To accommodate time conflicts on the part of Defendants’

statements are continued as follows: pre-trial statements are due

on July 11, 2005. The telephonic pre-trial conference is

scheduled for August 25, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 4

before the Honorable Sandra M. Snyder. 

Simply put, the Court expects that the management of

Defendants’ counsel’s law office accommodate the age of this

case. There is no justifiable reason for a continuance based on

the busy schedule of counsel. Counsel does not assert any of

those cases is older than this case or that they have any higher

priority than this case. For all these reasons, the motion for

continuance of the trial date is DENIED. 

DATED: June 2, 2005.
