U.S. Code as of: 01/19/04
Section 393. Amendments of complaint and adjournments

      It shall be lawful for the court to allow the United States
    attorney to amend his statement of complaint at any stage of the
    proceedings, before verdict, if, in the opinion of the court, such
    amendment will work no injustice to the accused; and if it appears
    to the court that the accused is unprepared to meet the charge as
    amended, and that an adjournment of the cause will promote the ends
    of justice, such adjournment shall be made, until a further day, to
    be fixed by the court.
