Is the exclusion of time for a continuance to allow defense counsel time to prepare motions?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Butz, 982 F.2d 1378 (9th Cir. 1993):
We have upheld the exclusion of time for a continuance to allow defense counsel time to prepare motions. See United States v. Henderson, 746 F.2d 619, 624 (9th Cir.1984), aff'd, 476 U.S. 321, 106 S.Ct. 1871, 90 L.Ed.2d 299 (1986). We have not, however, considered directly whether delay from a grant of continuance to one defendant is excludable time for a codefendant.
