USA v. Cook

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
SEBASTIAN BLUE HORSE COOK,
Defendant.
8:24CR156
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Motion to Continue Trial (Filing No. 48). Counsel
needs additional time to conduct plea negotiations. For good cause shown,
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Continue Trial (Filing No. 48) is granted as follows:
1. The jury trial now set for January 20, 2026, is continued to March 2, 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 March
2, 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 13th day of January 2026.
BY THE COURT:
Robert F. Rossiter, Jr.
Chief United States District Judge
