DEVON RAMBO,
Defendants.
ORDER
CASE NO :
1:25-cr-15-WLS-ALS
B efore the Court is an U nopposed Motion to Continue (D oc . 26) ("Motion") filed by
D . Nicole Williams, counsel for D efendant D evon Rambo (" Rambo ") . TI1erein, D efendant
requests a continuance of the trial from the January 2026 trial term to the next Albany trial
term because his counsel needs to review suppl emental discovery and to engage in discussions
with D efendant and negotiations with Government's counsel on behalf of Rambo . Kandice
Clyde (" Cly de") is a co - defendant in this case who is represented by Ashley Lucas. Ms.
\Villiams represents that Ms . Lucas also needs additional time to review discovery and consult
with her cli ent , Cly de . Ms . Williams further represents that the G overnment's counsel does
not oppose the continuance . D efendant requests that this matter be continued and that the
period of delay in continuing the trial be excluded under the Speedy T rial Act 18 U .S .C. §
3161.
B ased on the D efendant's stated reasons, the Court finds that the ends of justice served
by granting a continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and the D efendants in a
speedy trial. 18 U .S .C. § 3161(h)(7)(A)-(B). T herefore, the Motion (D oc . 26) is GRANTED
as follows:
TI1e Court hereby 	ORDERS 	that the trial in the above - referenced 	matter be
CONTIN U ED to the Albany D iv ision April 2026 trial term and its conclusion, or as may
otherwise be ordered by the Court . Furthermore , it is ORDERED that the time l ost under
the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U .S .C. § 3161 , is EXCLUDED pursuant to 18 U .S.C. § 316101)(7)
because the Court has continued the trial in this case and finds that the failure to grant a

continuance (a) would likely result in a miscarriage of justice, and (b) would deny D efense
Counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the
exercise of due diligence. See 18 U.S.C. § 316101)(7)(B)(i), (iv).
SO ORDERED , this 5th day of November 2025.
