IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

 v.

LENZIE ELLIS,

Defendant. /

No. C 09-00154 SI

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S

MOTION TO DISMISS

On July 9, 2010, the Court heard oral argument on defendant Lenzie Ellis’s motion to

dismiss the indictment in this case on the ground that his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial

has been violated. For the reasons stated on the record at the hearing, the Court finds that the length

of the delay, the reasons for the delay, defendant’s assertion of his rights, and the prejudice

occasioned by the delay warrant dismissal of the indictment. See Doggett v. United States, 505 U.S.

647, 651 (1992) (citing Barker v. Wingo, 407 U.S. 514, 530 (1972)).

Defendant’s motion is therefore GRANTED and the pending charges against him are

DISMISSED. The clerk is directed to close the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
