UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. KINZEL

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
COLUMBUS DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 	:
:
v. 	: 	Case No. 4:26-mj-17-AGH
:
PAUL KINZEL, 	:
:
Defendant. 	:
_________________________________
ORDER
Defendant 	filed 	an 	Unopposed 	Motion 	for 	Continuance 	of 	the 	Pretrial
Conference set for October 21, 2026. Specifically, Defendant seeks a continuance to
allow 	additional 	time 	to 	obtain 	documentation 	from 	a 	non-party 	regarding
restitution, to review that documentation, and for continued discussion with the
Government regarding a resolution of the case.
It is thus ordered that this case be continued until December 9, 2026, at 11:00
a.m, and the Speedy Trial deadline for the trial in this matter imposed by 18 U.S.C.
§ 3161(c)(1) shall be extended to that time. The Court finds that the ends of justice
served by granting this continuance outweigh the best interests of the public and
Defendant in a speedy trial because a failure to grant such continuance could result
in a miscarriage of justice and would deny counsel for Defendant and Government
the reasonable time necessary for effective preparation. The delay occasioned by this
continuance shall not be considered in calculating the speedy trial deadline under the
Speedy Trial Act.
