United States Second Circuit

Judgment denying habeas relief is affirmed where, despite the concern that stipulated "ends-of-justice" continuances may not be consistent with Zedner v. US 547 U.S. 489 (2006), defendant's attorney was not constitutionally ineffective in failing to anticipate Zedner and the potential for an extension of its holding to stipulated continuances under the Speedy Trial Act.
