 ______________________________________)

THIS MATTER comes before the Court on a stipulated motion of the government

and defendant ERIN CASPER to continue the trial date and the pretrial motions deadline

date. Having considered the entirety of the record and files herein, the Court finds that

failure to grant a continuance would likely result in a miscarriage of justice. The case is

complex over three thousand pages of discovery, over one thousand intercepted telephone

conversations, and hundreds of exhibits. Additionally, the location of the defendant and

defense witnesses in Canada require extra time for defense counsel to prepare this matter

for trial. 

It is unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for trial before the current trial

date of March 6, 2006. The Court further finds that the interests of the public and the

defendants in a speedy trial in this case are outweighed by the ends of justice. 

IT IS NOW, THEREFORE, ORDERED that trial of defendant ERIN CASPER be

continued to June 5, 2006, and that the time between the date of this Order and the new

trial date be excludable time under the Speedy Trial Act pursuant to Title 18, United

States Code, Sections 3161(h)(8)(A), 3161(h)(8)(B)(I), and 3161(h)(8)(B)(ii). 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that pre-trial motions shall be filed on or before

April 3, 2006.
