OPINION OF THE COURT
SCIRICA, Circuit Judge.
Appellants Joseph Rivera and Rivera Construction Company (“RCC”) appeal from their convictions of various offenses involving a conspiracy to defraud the United States Department of Defense (“DOD”). Their principal contention is that their rights under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S. C. §§ 3161-3174 (1982), were violated by the district court’s decision to order a continuance following disqualification of RCC’s original trial counsel. We conclude that all of appellants’ claims lack merit and we will affirm the convictions.
