UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. KEAKO JONES, Defendant.

HEATHER E. WILLIAMS, CHRISTINA M. CORCORAN, Attorney for Defendant KEAKO JONES.


HEATHER E. WILLIAMS, CHRISTINA M. CORCORAN, Attorney for Defendant KEAKO JONES.

REQUEST FOR TRAVEL ASSISTANCE PURSUANT TO 18 U.S.C. § 4285; ORDER

Ms. Jones, through her undersigned counsel, hereby requests, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4285, that this Court direct the United States Marshal to furnish her with the cost of travel, by car, from Fresno, California, to San Diego, California, so that she may attend Court in the Southern District of California. Ms. Jones has been found indigent and eligible for appointed counsel in the case against her. Pursuant to this Court's order, Ms. Jones must appear in federal court in the Southern District of California, in San Diego, California, no later than June 30, 2022. See ECF Dkt. # 5. Given that Ms. Jones lacks the financial resources to provide the necessary transportation to appear at her required court hearing, the interests of justice are served by directing the United States Marshal to furnish the cost of Ms. Jones' transportation to her court appearance in San Diego.

Additionally, consistent with 18 U.S.C. § 4285, Ms. Jones requests that the United States Marshal furnishes her with an amount of money for subsistence expenses to San Diego, not to exceed the amount authorized as a per diem allowed for travel under 5 U.S.C. § 5702(a).
