PEGGY A. LEEN, Magistrate Judge.

COMES NOW the defendant, BEVERLY HARDY, by and through counsel, REBECCA LEVY, Assistant Federal Public Defender, and moves this Honorable Court for an order directing the United States Marshal to pay subsistence and travel expenses necessary for the defendant to travel to Cheyenne, Wyoming from her current residence in Las Vegas, Nevada by airplane, on Sunday, May 10, 2015, to appear in court on Monday, May 11, 2015 at 10:00 a.m., in the above-entitled matter for an Initial Appearance.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR ORDER DIRECTING PAYMENT OF TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES

18 U.S.C. §4285 provides that any United States judge or magistrate may direct the United States Marshal to arrange for the payment of the subsistence and travel expenses of a defendant who has been released on bail and who is obligated to make a subsequent appearance in any United States court when the interests of justice would be served thereby and the judge or magistrate is satisfied that the defendant is financially unable to provide the necessary transportation to appear in Court.

Defendant is currently residing in Las Vegas, Nevada and is unable to pay the cost of the trip to Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Because of her lack of funds, the defendant will be unable to travel from her home at 1150 N. Buffalo Drive #1013, Las Vegas, Nevada 89128 to 2120 Capital Avenue, Cheyenne, Wyoming, unless this Court directs the United States Marshal to pay her necessary travel and subsistence expenses. Cheyenne, Wyoming is a long distance from Las Vegas, Nevada and it will be necessary for her to travel to Cheyenne by plane. It has been determined that the defendant qualifies for the appointment of counsel pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3006A.

Pursuant to the Magistrate Judge's Order on March 27, 2015.
