United States v. Manuel Vasquez and Jose Pollo Renteria

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that delays in conducting the defendant’s competency examination at FMC Butner resulted from “institutional dysfunction” rather than deliberate wrongdoing or bad faith
• holding that transportation delays exceeding the excludable ten-day period set forth in Section 3161(h)(1)(H) were nonetheless excludable under Section 3161(h)(1)(A)
• stating that, although seventeen-month pre-trial incarceration may be considered in the assessment of prejudice, it is not sufficient to establish a constitutional violation in all circumstances
• noting that defendant cannot challenge the reasonableness of a delay unless the defendant has first made a severance motion
• preventing codefendants from arguing unreasonable delay when neither moved to seyer in a timely manner
• discounting a delay of 26 months because “most of th[at] [time] . . . was consumed by consideration of defendants’ various pretrial motions”
