UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
ORLANDO DIVISION

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

v. CASE NO. 6:22-cr-201-WWB-LHP

EVAN EDWARDS

GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE TO TIME SENSITIVE MOTION FOR
MODIFICATION OF ORDER ON DEFENDANT’S REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS

The United States, in accordance with this Court’s Order (Doc. 141), hereby

responds to Evan Edwards’s Time Sensitive Motion for Modification of Order on

Defendant’s Reporting Requirements (the “Motion”) (Doc. 139) and states:

1. The United States has no objection to modification of the Court’s

Order dated March 18, 2024 (Doc. 136) to align with BOP’s surrender date of April

8, 2024.

2. The United States also has no objection to defendant returning to the

custody of the USMS for transport to the designated BOP facility.

3. However, there is a practical and logistical issue as to whether USMS

is able to accommodate such transport by the April 8, 2024 surrender date. The

undersigned’s understanding from speaking with USMS is that certain medical

clearances must be in place for USMS to have the capability to transport the

defendant. USMS is currently working through that process but is unable to advise

at this time whether transport by April 8, 2024 is possible.
Case 6:22-cr-00201-AGM-LHP Document 143 Filed 03/27/24 Page 2 of 3 PageID 676

4. Additionally, the medical clearance for transport will require review of

Mr. Evan Edwards’s updated medical records. Thus, USMS will need copies of the

defendant’s medical records from the time of his pre-trial release to present in

order to obtain medical clearance to transport him to the BOP facility.

5. If USMS transport by April 8, 2024 is not possible, then the United

States would request that the Court direct BOP to issue a new surrender date at

least 30 days in the future to allow USMS sufficient time to coordinate transport of

the defendant. The United States would request that Mr. Edwards remain on pre-

trial release pending transport.

WHEREFORE, United States does not object to the modification of this

Court’s March 18, 2024 Order as explained herein.

Respectfully submitted,

ROGER B. HANDBERG
United States Attorney
