USA v. Morales

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
v.
JOSE MANUEL MORALES,
Defendant
8:25CR216
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial (Filing No. 19).
Counsel needs additional time to address and resolve outstanding discovery-related matters,
including finalization of trial preparation and clarification of issues material to the trial and
potential plea. For good cause shown,
IT IS ORDERED that the Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial (Filing No. 19) is granted
as follows:
1. The jury trial now set for February 2, 2026, is continued to March 30, 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
30, 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 12th day of January 2026.
BY THE COURT:
Robert F. Rossiter, Jr.
Chief United States District Judge
