PORTLAND, Ore. (CN) — In an outburst that cleared the courtroom, jailed militiaman Ammon Bundy yelled to supporters that the federal judge in charge of his case wouldn't let him speak, moments after she denied his request to delay the start of his trial.

Bundy ... shot out of his seat at the end of a hearing on Wednesday where U.S. District Judge Anna J. Brown had earlier denied his request to delay the trial date — a date he argued in February violated his right to a speedy trial ...

While Ammon Bundy has a right to hire new counsel, "that doesn't mean trial preparation starts over because new lawyers have been voluntarily engaged by Mr. Bundy," Brown said ...

The next hearing is scheduled for July 18. Brown said that while all defendants are welcome, none need attend.
