DEFENDANT TAYLOR'S EX PARTE

APPLICATION FOR TRAVEL

EXPENSES AND PROPOSED ORDER


INTRODUCTION

Defendant Rodney Taylor hereby requests the Court authorize travel expenses to and from court for the duration of his trial, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4285. Mr. Taylor is unable to afford his own transportation costs from his temporary residence to the trial. The trial is set to begin on July 9, 2012 and is expected to last five (5) days.

Under § 4285, the Court may, after determining that "the defendant is financially unable to provide the necessary transportation to appear before the required court on his own, direct the United States marshal to arrange for that person's means of noncustodial transportation or furnish the fare for such transportation to the place where his appearance is required, and in addition may direct the United States Marshal to furnish that person with an amount of money for subsistence expenses to his destination, not to exceed the amount authorized as a per diem allowance for travel under § 5702(a) of title 5, Untied States Code." 18 U.S.C. § 4285.

Mr. Taylor estimates that the travel expense will be $60.00 per day for the 5 court days. Mr. Taylor will be staying with his brother in South Sacramento for the duration of the trial, however has no transportation and will, therefore, need taxi fare to and from court each day of trial. This arrangement is more cost effective than providing hotel accommodations for Mr. Taylor at a hotel within walking distance of the courthouse.

Respectfully submitted,
