Dear Judge Thompson:
Recently, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the U.S.
Marshal's Service met to discuss issues of common concern. As a
result of our discussions, we have come up with a more efficient
approach to deal with certain issues.
During the course of our meetings, the Marshal's
Service highlighted a particular problem that can be resolved by
the Court. In order to prepare cases for trial or negotiate
pleas, it is often necessary for Assistant U.S. Attorneys to meet
with incarcerated defendants and their counsel. The Marshal's
Service cannot be expected to provide deputies to transport
prisoners from the Marshal's office in the courthouse to the U.S.
Attorney's Office. Instead, it is more practical for federal
agents to take custody of a prisoner for the duration of a
meeting or proffer session.
The Marshal's Service is amenable to this arrangement
and has asked that we seek court authorization to release
prisoners into the custody of federal agents in this manner.
Enclosed is a proposed form of order that would address the
Marshal's concern. Please execute and file the order if it meets
with your approval.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions about this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
FAITHS. HOCHBERG
United States Attorney
