UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, )

Plaintiff, ) NO. CR06-109MJP 

)

v. ) ORDER GRANTING A CONTINUANCE

) OF TRIAL AND FINDING EXCLUDABLE TIME

STEVE ATTILA CZINEGE, )

) 

Defendant. ) 

 )

Having reviewed the motion for a continuance of trial and for a finding of excludable time, filed

by the defense on August 11, 2006, and the declaration of defense counsel filed in support of the motion,

the court has found that because the case poses novel questions of fact and law and it would be

unreasonable to expect adequate preparation for pretrial proceedings and for trial within the time limits

established by the Speedy Trial Act, see 18 U.S.C. §§3161(h)(8)(b)(ii), and further, that the denial of the

requested continuance would unreasonably deny the defendant and the government the time needed for

effective preparation, see 18 U.S.C. §§3161(h)(8)(b)(iv); based on the foregoing findings, the court has

concluded that a continuance of the trial date is appropriate and necessary in this case because the interest

of the defendant and the public in a speedy trial is outweighed by the interest of the defendant in having

adequate time in which to investigate and prepare his defense to significant criminal charges, see 18

U.S.C. §§3161(h)(8)(a); accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED as follows:
