MICHAEL D. LONG (CA State Bar #149475)
Attorney for SHANEMA McQUEEN
APPLICATION FOR TRANSPORTATION;
[MODIFIED PROPOSED] ORDER
FOR TRANSPORTATION
18 USC §4285
Defendant SHANEMA McQUEEN, by and through her attorney, Michael D. Long, hereby requests the court to order the United States Marshal to pay for her transportation from her home in South Carolina to Sacramento, California.
In case 10-97 JAM, defendant SHANEMA McQUEEN, flew from South Carolina to Sacramento to make her initial appearance before the magistrate on April 15, 2010. She borrowed money from friends and relatives to come up with enough money to make the cross-country flight. She was unable to borrow enough money to fly to Sacramento for our May 4, 2010, initial appearance in District Court. The court authorized payment for a round-trip airline ticket for Ms. McQueen to attend our June 8, 2010, court appearance. Ms. McQueen is still unable to afford to fly to Sacramento and back to her home in South Carolina for our sentencing hearing scheduled for October 25, 2011.
Application is hereby made for an Order for Transportation and subsistence allowance for defendant SHANEMA McQUEEN to travel round-trip from her home in South Carolina, to Sacramento, California for the purpose of meeting with undersigned counsel and attending the October 25, 2011, sentencing hearing. Counsel is requesting that Ms. McQueen fly to Sacramento on October 24, 2011. Counsel requests that she fly back to South Carolina on the evening of October 25, 2011, or on October 26, 2011, depending on available flights. Counsel further requests that the court authorize payment for a one-night stay at an approved hotel in Sacramento on the evening of October 24, 2011.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL D. LONG
Attorney for Ms. McQUEEN
