`
`Order
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Before the Court is Louis Matthews’ unopposed motion to direct the Nevada Southern
`Detention Center and/or the United States Marshals Service to provide eyeglasses. (ECF No.
`490). Mr. Matthews explains that, shortly after the United States Marshals Service (USMS)
`transported him to Nevada, his eyeglasses broke and were thus not transported. When Mr.
`Matthews arrived at the Nevada Southern Detention Center (NSDC), he formally requested new
`glasses. But the NSDC informed him that he must seek and obtain a court order to receive
`prescription eyewear. Mr. Matthews explains that he has an evidentiary hearing coming up on
`February 1, 2024 and has a strong interest in being able to read relevant materials and assist
`appointed counsel in representing him. Mr. Matthews adds that counsel for the Government does
`not oppose the motion.
