UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

United States of America

v. Case No. 07-cr-200-SM

Kanhnha Sao

O R D E R

Defendant Kanhnha has filed an assented to motion to continue the trial 

(document no.16). Trial has been rescheduled for the January 2009 trial period. 

Defendant Sao shall file a waiver of speedy trial rights not later than September

29, 2008. On the filing of such waiver, the continuance shall be effective. 

The Court finds that the ends of justice served by granting a continuance

outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial, 18

U.S.C. § 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv), in that failure to grant a continuance would

unreasonably deny defendants the reasonable time necessary for effective

preparation taking into account the exercise of due diligence under the

circumstances. 

Final Pretrial Conference: January 14, 2009 at 1:30 p.m.
