In Ohio, in criminal cases, the 6th Amendment and the Speedy Trial Act of 1974 set certain time limits by which a case must be brought to trial. It is true that a Defendant can waive these restrictions by signing off on a time waiver, but a Court has the inherent power to control its own docket, so it does not have to move events in the trial (such as hearings) if it does not want to.
