UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA :
:
v. : CRIMINAL NO.
:
:
Consent to Continuance of Criminal Trial
And Waiver of Speedy Trial Right
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 am requesting a continuance of my trial, now scheduled for
DATE, 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 may deny the continuance or may hold a hearing at
which I will be present.
