UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. SUTTLES

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
COLUMBUS DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
v.
DEMETRICE Q. SUTTLES
CASE NO.:
4:24-CR-00036-CDL-CHW-1
ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT’S
UNOPPOSED MOTION TO CONTINUE
Defendant was indicted on November 21, 2024, Doc. 1, and arraigned on
October 23, 2025. 	The Pretrial Conference was held on November 18, 2025. 	The
defendant 	requests 	a 	continuance, 	and 	the 	government 	does 	not 	oppose.
Specifically, Defendant needs additional time to review discovery with Mr. Suttles.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the above-referenced matter be continued to
the March 2026 trial term and that the Speedy Trial deadline for the trial in this
matter imposed by 18 U.S.C. § 3161(c)(1) be extended to that time. 	The Court finds
that the ends of justice served by granting of this continuance outweigh the best
interests of the public and the Defendant in a speedy trial because a failure to grant
such continuance could result in a miscarriage of justice and would deny counsel for
the 	Defendant 	and 	Government 	the 	reasonable 	time 	necessary 	for 	effective
preparation. 	18 	U.S.C. 	§ 	3161(h)(7)(A)-(B). 	The 	delay 	occasioned 	by 	this
continuance shall not be considered in calculating the speedy trial deadline under the
Speedy Trial Act.
SO ORDERED, this 19th day of November 2025.
