November 19, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 13 TEXT ORDER On September 9, 2020, Muhammad Wilson ("Plaintiff") filed this civil action in the Berkeley County, South Carolina Court of Common Pleas against Berkeley County, South Carolina and the City of Hanahan, South Carolina ("Defendants"). (Dkt. No. 1.) Defendants removed this action to federal court on October 9, 2020. (Id.) Plaintiff brings causes of action for malicious prosecution, false arrest, intentional infliction of emotional distress, libel, and slander. (Dkt. No. 1-1 at 11.) Plaintiff proceeds pro se and is not a prisoner or a pre-trial detainee. This matter is before the Court on a Motion for Speedy Trial, filed by Plaintiff on November 10, 2020. (Dkt. No. 12.) Plaintiff asserts that this case has not been set for trial. Plaintiff asserts that it is in his "best interest" to try his case soon and that it is his "constitutional right" [sic] to have a speedy trial. Therefore, Plaintiff is presumably referencing the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution and the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C.A. 3161. As an initial matter, the undersigned notes that an individual's right to a speedy trial is only guaranteed in criminal matters, not civil matters. See U.S. Const. amend. VI ("In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial.")(emphasis added); see also Robinson v. SC Dep't of Pub. Safety, No. 8:05-CV-3198-SB-JDA, 2011 WL 1225727, at *1 (D.S.C. Feb. 28, 2011), report and recommendation adopted sub nom. Robinson v. S.C. Dep't of Pub. Safety, No. 8:05-CV-3198-SB, 2011 WL 1287937 (D.S.C. Mar. 31, 2011)("The Federal Speedy Trial Act, like the Sixth Amendment, applies to criminal prosecutions...the Federal Speedy Trial Act also provides no basis for relief in this civil case...."). Furthermore, a scheduling order was entered in this matter on October 19, 2020. (Dkt. No. 5.) Accordingly, Plaintiff"s motion is denied. Entered at the direction of Magistrate Judge Mary Gordon Baker on 11/19/2020.(hada, )
