USA v. Addison et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
CHARLOTTE DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
v. Criminal No. 3:17cr134-FDW-DSC
SHERMAN DEVANTE ADDISON, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER
The Court, acknowledging the fact that counsel have been appointed in this case who do
not reside or have a place of business within the Western District of North Carolina, and/or that
the Defendants in this case are currently being housed in various confinement facilities within
and outside the Western District of North Carolina, hereby GRANTS a general travel
authorization to counsel from their place of business to locations within the United States where
court proceedings are being held; to confinement facilities where the Defendant is being held;
and to meet with Government counsel.
The Court finds that granting a general travel authorization to counsel is “necessary for
adequate representation” of the Defendant, as provided in 18 U.S.C. § 3006A, and the Court
hereby approves such travel authorization. This general travel authorization will alleviate the
necessity for court appointed counsel to file individual travel motions; however counsel should
be mindful of national and District policies and procedures for reimbursement of travel related
expenses. Counsel’s travel will be periodically reviewed as interim vouchers are submitted and
during the regular budget process, and adjusted as necessary.
SO ORDERED.
