LEONIE M. BRINKEMA, United States District Judge
Before this Court is Defendant's Emergency Application for Writ Ad Testificandum ("Application"). Defense counsel seeks to depose Jean Tony Antoine Oulai, an individual currently in the custody of the United States Marshals Service.
Defense counsel had initially proposed Friday, February 1, 2002 as the deposition date. The deposition did not occur on that date.
Initially, the United States did not object to the Application. However, the Government has now filed, under seal, its opposition to defendant's Application. Counsel for the defendant is hereby
ORDERED to file any reply to the Government's opposition by 5:00 pm on Wednesday, February 6, 2002. The Court will determine if oral argument is necessary.
The Clerk is directed to forward copies of this Order to counsel of record, the United States Marshal, and Court Security Officer, Christine Gunning.
