2015-02-19	20	0		MINUTES for proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Kathleen Kay: SCHEDULING CONFERENCE as to Frankie Maldonado (1) held on 2/19/2015. Participating by telephone: Wayne J. Blanchard for defendant and John Luke Walker representing with the government.Both counsel informed the court that this matter is complex given the fact that the purported victim is a minor (which could require retention of particular expert witnesses), the fact that many witnesses are not local, and the fact that defense counsel needs sufficient time to explore matters involving other witnesses in New Mexico. In order to allow defense counsel sufficient time to prepare an adequate defense and further considering the calendars of both counsel (each party being entitled to continuity of counsel) and to further the ends of justice that outweigh the interest of the public and defendant to a speedy trial, we find that it is necessary to fix a trial date beyond the limitation of the Speedy Trial Act. Accordingly, Jury Trial is set for 8/3/2015 at 10:00 AM in Lake Charles, Courtroom 4 before Judge Patricia Minaldi. (jud,Kay, Kathleen) (Entered: 02/19/2015)
