United States Supreme Court
Bloate v. US, 08-728
In a drug and firearm possession prosecution, the Eighth Circuit's order affirming the district court's denial of defendant's motion to dismiss the indictment on Speedy Trial Act grounds is reversed where the time granted to prepare pretrial motions was not automatically excludable from the 70-day limit under 18 U.S.C. section 3161(h)(1), and such time may be excluded only when a district court grants a continuance based on appropriate findings under subsection (h)(7).
