UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. JOSE TIRADO : : : : :

CASE NO: 3:02CR4 (AWT)

ENDORSEMENT ORDER The defendant's motion to continue jury selection (Doc. No. 147) and the defendant's motion for extension of time to file pretrial motions (Doc. No. 148) are hereby GRANTED; the court finds that the interests of justice served by continuing jury selection to June 10, 2005 outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial because the failure to grant a continuance would deny counsel for the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence. See 18 U.S.C. 3161(h)(8)(B)(iv).

Accordingly, the speedy trial time shall be excluded from April 8, 2005 to June 10, 2005. It is so ordered. Dated at Hartford, Connecticut on this 4th day of April 2005.

/s/ Alvin W. Thompson United States District Judge
