How courts have described this case

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

• holding that delay created by defendant in mistakenly agreeing to a “waiver” of his speedy trial rights is excludable
• stating that the legislative history of the STA “indicates that scheduling conflicts of either defense or government counsel were intended by Congress to be legitimate grounds for granting a continuance”
• noting that the Speedy 7 Trial Act “is as much aimed at the delay caused by judicial congestion and 8 mismanagement as it is aimed at the deliberate stalling of counsel”
• where waiver caused or contributed to the delay, defendant cannot take advantage of that time in seeking a dismissal
• exception necessary to prevent defendants from “lulling the court and prosecution into a false sense of security only to turn around later and use the waiver-induced leisurely pace of the case as grounds for dismissal”
• delay caused by defendant’s inoperative waiver excludable from Speedy Trial Act limit
