United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Michael Deshone Mathews, Defendant.
ORDER
Mr. Mathews, originally representing himself, moved for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582 (C)(1)(A)(i) in January 2021. See generally Mot, ECF No. 172. The government opposed on numerous grounds including the fact that Mr. Mathews already contracted COVID-19 and was allegedly asymptomatic. See Opp'n at 10, ECF No. 177. After this court appointed him counsel, Mt. Matthews replied to the government's response in late April 2021. Reply, ECF No. 188. The reply contends Mr. Mathews was not asymptomatic, and in fact still suffers from some COVID-19 symptoms. Id. at 2; see also Mathews Decl. ¶ 3, Reply Ex. A, ECF No. 188-1. Neither the government nor defense counsel presented information regarding Mr. Mathew's vaccination status.
The parties are directed to clarify whether Mr. Matthews is vaccinated within seven days of this order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
