Opinion
Case No. 10-20047.
March 8, 2010
ORDER
On February 22, 2010, the Defendant, Mahdi Abdi Ali, filed an ex-parte motion which, if granted, would allow his attorney, John Freeman, to bring a licensed private investigator to the correctional facility in which he is presently housed. To support his request, Ali cites Perry v. Leeke, 488 U.S. 272, 281 (1989) and Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 691 (1984), both of which are inapposite to the issue that has been raised by Ali in this motion. Moreover, he has failed to provide the Court with any recognizable authority upon which to grant his motion for relief.
Hence, Ali's ex-parte motion must be, and is, denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
