For purposes of scheduling trials, Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 50 requires that scheduling preference be given to criminal proceedings as far as practicable. In addition, scheduling trials for defendants in custody solely because they are awaiting trial, or those defendants designated as high risk, are given preference over other criminal cases pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3164(a).
