UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

ANDREW SIMPSON,
Defendants.

ORDER
24-CR-360 (EK)
ERIC KOMITEE, United States District Judge:
This matter comes before the Court on the Application
of JOSEPH NOCELLA, JR., United States Attorney for the Eastern
District of New York, by Sophia M. Suarez, Assistant United
States Attorney, for an order permitting the use of all
necessary force to compel the transport and secure the
appearance of ANDREW SIMPSON, United States Marshals Service
(“USMS”) Register Number 84000-053, to the United States
Courthouse for the Eastern District of New York at the next
court appearance.
This Order is predicated on ANDREW SIMPSON’s reported
refusal to comply with USMS and the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) to
be brought to court on November 20, 2025, and based on the
importance of ANDREW SIMPSON’s prompt appearance in court to
permit argument on pretrial motions and other pending matters.
Based on the discussion on the record at the November 20 status
conference (from which defendant Simpson was absent) the Court
Case 1:24-cr-00360-EK Document 79 Filed 11/21/25 Page 1 of 2 PageID #:
<pageID>

finds that the application is made in good faith and that there
is a reasonable belief that the requested relief will be
necessary to secure ANDREW SIMPSON’s presence at the next court
appearance.
It is therefore ORDERED, pursuant to Title 28, United
States Code, Section 1651, that BOP and USMS, their agents,
and/or designees, and any other appropriate law enforcement and
support personnel, shall use all necessary force to produce
ANDREW SIMPSON to the United States Courthouse for the Eastern
District of New York, 225 Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn, New York
11201, for his next court appearance, which is currently
scheduled on December 10, 2025. 	To the extent they deem any
such force necessary, the agents and/or other personnel in
question shall inform Simpson of the existence of this Order
prior to any use of such force.
SO ORDERED.
