_______________________________________)

This matter comes before the Court on the stipulated motion of the parties to continue

the trial date, currently set for July 31, 2006. The Court, having reviewed the motion, and

being otherwise fully advised, finds and rules as follows:

The parties have pursued discovery and trial preparation in a diligent fashion. 

However, as set forth in the stipulated motion, and due to the volume and nature of the

materials involved, the discovery process is not complete, and will likely not be complete

until shortly before the current trial date. Additional time is necessary to complete discovery

in an orderly fashion, and to permit adequate trial preparation.

In addition, trial counsel for both parties have pre-existing conflicts that will further

interfere with completing discovery and trial preparation.

ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED MOTION TO 

CONTINUE TRIAL DATE - 2

(U. S. v. Regalado, CR06-175MJP) UNITED STATES ATTORNEY

700 Stewart Street, Suite 5220

Seattle, Washington 98101-1271

(206) 553-7970

Based on these facts, the Court finds that a failure to grant the requested

continuance would deny Defendant continuity of counsel and/or reasonable time for

effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, within the

meaning of 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(8)(B)(iv). The Court also finds that the ends of justice

will be served by continuing the trial date and that a continuance is necessary to ensure

effective trial preparation, and these factors outweigh the best interests of the defendant

and of the public in a more speedy trial within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 

§ 3161(h)(8)(A).

Based on the foregoing, now, therefore,

It is hereby ORDERED that the trial date be continued from July 31, 2006, to

October 31, 2006. Pre-trial motions shall be due on September 21, 2006.

It is further ORDERED that the time between July 31, 2006, and the new trial date

of October 31, 2006 shall be excluded in the computation of time under the Speedy Trial

Act, as this is a reasonable period of delay pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3161(h). 

SO ORDERED this 19th day of July, 2006.
