( CNN ) -- A November 1 trial date has been set for Brian David Mitchell , who is suspected in the 2002 kidnapping of Utah teenager Elizabeth Smart , said a spokeswoman for federal prosecutors . U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball set the trial date at a scheduling conference Friday , said Melodie Rydalch , spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney 's office in Utah . Mitchell was not in court that day , she said . The trial is expected to take two weeks , according to the case file . Mitchell 's defense attorneys have apparently indicated they will file a motion asking for a change of venue , as the case file said Kimball set a May 26 deadline for the motion and agreed to hear arguments before July 11 . Mitchell is accused of abducting Smart , then 14 , at knifepoint from her bedroom in her family 's Salt Lake City , Utah , home in June 2002 . Smart was found nine months later , walking down a street in the Salt Lake City suburb of Sandy with Mitchell and his wife , Wanda Eileen Barzee . Mitchell , a drifter and self-described prophet who called himself `` Emmanuel , '' had done some handyman work at the Smarts ' home . Barzee , now 64 , pleaded guilty in November to kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor . As part of a plea deal with prosecutors , she agreed to cooperate in the state and federal cases against her husband . Earlier this month , Kimball ruled Mitchell , now 56 , is competent to stand trial . State court proceedings against him have been on hold pending the outcome of the federal case . Smart , now 21 , testified in October as part of Mitchell 's competency hearing that after kidnapping her , Mitchell took her to a wooded area behind her home and performed a mock marriage ceremony with her before sexually assaulting her . She testified that in the nine months of her captivity , no 24-hour period passed without Mitchell raping her . Kimball 's ruling on Mitchell 's competency can not be appealed until after the case concludes . Barzee had been housed at the Utah State Hospital while courts determined her competency as well as that of her husband . A state court had ruled she could be forcibly medicated , and that ruling led federal prosecutors to file charges against her . Last month , Barzee pleaded guilty but mentally ill in state court in the attempted kidnapping of Smart 's cousin a month after her kidnapping . In exchange for the plea to one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated kidnapping , state prosecutors dropped charges against Barzee in Smart 's abduction . Federal prosecutors have recommended that Barzee serve a sentence of 15 years , but asked that her sentencing date be continued to allow for her participation in the case against Mitchell . She faces between one and 15 years in prison on the state charge , but prosecutors agreed to allow that sentence to run concurrently with the federal sentence .
