USA v. Wells

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
DAMIEN WELLS,
Defendant.
8:24CR49
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on defendant’s Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial and
Request for Hearing (Filing No. 169). Counsel has informed the Court that he will be filing a writ
of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court shortly and requests a continuance of the trial.
The government has no objection. For good cause shown,
IT IS ORDERED that defendant’s Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial (Filing No. 169)
is granted as follows:
1. The jury trial now set for March 10, 2026, is continued to April 20, 2026.
2. In accordance with 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A), the Court finds that the ends of
justice will be served by granting this continuance and outweigh the interests of the
public and the defendant in a speedy trial. Any additional time arising as a result
of the granting of this motion, that is, the time between today’s date and April 20,
2026, shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the
requirement of the Speedy Trial Act. Failure to grant a continuance would deny
counsel the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account
the exercise of due diligence. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(7)(A) & (B)(iv).
Dated the 3rd day of March 2026.
BY THE COURT:
Robert F. Rossiter, Jr.
Chief United States District Judge
