State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Terrence Miller, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division’s judgment that the trial court’s denial of a continuance did not constitute an abuse of discretion, did not violate the defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel, and did not breach due‑process principles. The Court applied the Hayes balancing test, found no showing of prejudice, and held that the trial judge’s exercise of calendar control was proper.
