E.D. Pa. Judge Practices (Joel H Slomsky) · Joel H Slomsky

FORM UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Criminal No. ______________ vs. _____________________________ I, _____________________________(Defendant), have consulted with my counsel concerning my right under the Speedy Trial Act and my right to a speedy trial under the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I do not oppose a continuance of my trial, now scheduled for _____________________, 20___ and the Hearing on Motions Scheduled for _____________________, 20___, and agree that the ends of justice served by a continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and myself in a speedy trial. I understand that the time between the filing of a Motion to continue and the new trial date to be set by the Court will be excluded for purposes of computing the time within which my trial must commence under the Speedy Trial Act, and I also agree that this delay will not deprive me of my speedy trial rights under the Sixth Amendment. I understand that if I do not wish to sign this document, the Court will hold a hearing at which I will be present. ______________________________ ____________________________ Witness Signature Defendant Signature ____________________________ Date
