USA v. McGregor

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
ERIC J. MCGREGOR,
Defendant.
4:25CR3088
ORDER
A telephone status conference was held today. Defendant has moved to continue the
pretrial motion deadline, (Filing No.30), because Defendant needs additional time to decide if
any pretrial motions are necessary and, further, to consider and decide whether to enter a guilty
plea or go to trial. The motion to continue is unopposed. Based on the showing set forth in the
motion and comments of counsel during the telephone conference, the court finds good cause
has been shown and the motion should be granted. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1) 	Defendant’s motion to continue, (Filing No. 30), is granted.
2) 	Pretrial motions and briefs shall be filed on or before January 20, 2026.
3) 	A telephonic conference with counsel will be held before the undersigned
magistrate judge at 9:00 a.m. on January 26, 2026 to discuss setting any pretrial
motion hearing needed, a change of plea hearing, or the date of the jury trial and
deadlines for disclosing experts as required under Rule 16. Counsel for all parties
shall use the conferencing instructions provided by the court to participate in the
call.
4) 	The court finds that the ends of justice served by granting the motion to continue
outweigh the interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial, and the
additional time arising as a result of the granting of the motion, the time between
today’s date and January 26, 2026 shall be deemed excludable time in any
computation of time under the requirements of the Speedy Trial Act, because
although counsel have been duly diligent, additional time is needed to adequately
prepare this case for trial and failing to grant additional time might result in a
miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1) & (h)(7). Failing to timely object to
this order as provided under this court’s local rules will be deemed a waiver of any
right to later claim the time should not have been excluded under the Speedy Trial
Act.
Dated this 19 th day of November, 2025.
