Supreme Court of the United States
Bloate v. United States
March 8, 2010559 U.S. 196
Summary
The Supreme Court reversed the Eighth Circuit, holding that time granted to prepare pretrial motions is not automatically excludable under the Speedy Trial Act's §3161(h)(1). Such time may only be excluded when a district court grants a continuance based on appropriate findings under §3161(h)(7). Justice Alito dissented, arguing the delay falls within the automatic exclusion for proceedings concerning the defendant.
Holding
- Whether time granted to prepare pretrial motions is automatically excludable under 18 U.S.C. §3161(h)(1).. Time granted to prepare pretrial motions is not automatically excludable under subsection (h)(1).
