"Federal prosecutors and defense counsel have agreed to seek a delay in the trial of former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin, the WDSU I-Team has learned.The joint motion was filed Friday morning in the federal court system.Nagin is currently scheduled to stand trial on corruption charges \u00A0beginning April 29. A judge will decide whether to grant the delay, but legal experts say such moves are typically approved in cases involving a joint filing.Nagin was indicted in January. He faces\u00A021 counts, including bribery, conspiracy and money laundering. He is free on a personal surety bond awaiting trial, with movement limited to the New Orleans area and Dallas, where he lives.Nagin's attorney, Robert Jenkins, would not comment on the reason for the delay. The filing cites the \"nature\" of the case and its complexity as one reason for the request.The motion asks for the trial to be rescheduled for October.An immediate ruling on the motion was not expected due to limited activity at the court on Good Friday. It was not known if Judge Ginger Berrigan, who is supervising the case, was at the federal courthouse."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
