October 15, 2021 (Dkt. No. 348) ordering the Government to respond to the defendant's October

14, 2021 letter regarding delivery of the defendant's legal mail at the Metropolitan Detention
Center ("MDC") (Dkt. No. 346).
The Government conferred with legal counsel at the MDC in response to the Court's Order
and was informed of the following: As a general matter, legal mail from a defendant's counsel is
delivered to the defendant within one business day of receipt at the MDC. Legal mail sent to a
defendant from the Government via FedEx goes to the MDC's warehouse. Staff at the MDC's
warehouse process and log the mail in a tracking system and then contact the relevant
department—in this case, the legal department—about the mail. The legal department has to then
go to the warehouse to retrieve the mail, log the mail, assign the mail an internal number for
tracking purposes, and fill out a form authorizing the delivery of the mail to the inmate before
delivering the mail to the inmate.
