The following excerpt is from United States v. Mirenda, 443 F.2d 1351 (9th Cir. 1971):
In urging error in the trial judge's refusal to grant a continuance, we are faced with the general rule of law that the trial judge has a large amount of discretion in granting or denying a continuance of a trial. Sendejas v. United States, 428 F.2d 1040, 1046 (9th Cir.1970), and cases cited therein; Moore v. United States, 394 F.2d 818, 819 (5th Cir.1968), cert. denied, 393 U. S. 1030, 89 S.Ct. 641, 21 L.Ed.2d 573.
