ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S MOTION
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the "Motion for Order Allowing Mental Health Counselors Access to Defendant, Brooke Erin Thomson" (doc. 132).

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The motion for access to Defendant at Levy County jail (doc. 132) is hereby granted.
