vs. 	)
)
Larry Norwood, 	) 	Case No. 1:18-cr-062
)
Defendant. 	)
The Defendant is in custody awaiting trial. 	He is being housed at the Burleigh Morton
Detention Center. On May 10, 2019, he filed a Motion for Miscellaneous Relief. He requests to be
transferred to a different facility that can better address his food allergies and accommodate his
dietary restrictions. He also requests a hearing on this matter.
Housing assignments are within the United States Marshal’s exclusive control. Thus, the
Court cannot dictate the facility at which the Defendant will be held held pending trial. The most
the Court can do is alert the Marshal of the Defendant’s food allergies. Accordingly, the Court shall
forward the Defendant’s dietary concerns to the Marshal as he bears responsibility for the
Defendant’s health and welfare while in federal custody. 	The Defendant’s Motion for
Miscellaneous Relief (Doc. No. 36) is DENIED. His request for a hearing (Doc. No. 37) is deemed
MOOT.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 13th day of May, 2019.
