     UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

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

     EVAN EDWARDS


                                            ORDER

           This matter comes before the Court on the Government’s motion regarding

     the failure of the Defendant to provide medical information necessary to allow the

     United States Marshal to transport the Defendant for mental health treatment

     pursuant to this Court’s earlier Orders. This matter is time sensitive due to the

     shortage of appropriate treatment facilities and the logistics related to

     accommodating Defendant’s medical needs.

           A hearing was held on May 8, 2024. The third-party custodian appeared and

     testified. She acknowledged that no medical records had been produced pursuant to

     the Court Orders but stated that she had made efforts to obtain them. Upon further

     inquiry, she also testified that, despite the Defendant’s continuing serious medical

     issues, he has not received any professional medical care since his return from his

     evaluation in South Carolina.

           It thus appears that there are no recent medical records available that would

     provide the Marshal’s Service adequate information to assure safe transport to

     Massachusetts as contemplated by the Court’s Orders and the arrangements made

     with the Bureau of Prisons.

           As stated in open Court at the hearing, the parties (including the Marshal’s

     Service) are DIRECTED to confer as to the matters discussed at the hearing and

     file a status report no later than 3:00 P.M. EDT Friday May 10, 2024, regarding

     possible next steps including having the Defendant medically examined to

     determine his needs with respect to transportation by the Marshal and the

     availability and cost of private medical transport.

           Dated May 8, 2024, at Orlando, Florida.
