¶
The requested two-month adjournment to May is not justified and is therefore DENIED. Two of the Defendant’s four attorneys are able to be present and represent the Defendant at the March 8 hearing. The Court will conduct the questioning at the hearing, and the parties have already submitted briefing and proposed questions. The public interest in a reasonably prompt hearing outweighs the Defendant’s preference for an adjournment. SO ORDERED.¶
