Defendant.
_____________________________________/
This matter is set for jury trial starting November 4, 2013. On October 29, 2013, Defense

13 counsel informed the Court that because of a delay in a trial he is trying in state court due to court
14 closure, he will be unavailable to begin trial in this matter on November 4th. Defendant therefore
15 requests a continuance of the trial in this matter. Although this matter was initially set for trial nearly
16 a year ago, the Court finds that Defendant has shown good cause for continuation of the trial date.
