MR. COHEN: Yes, your Honor. One item. It has two parts, your Honor. As the Court is aware, you have issued an order that Mr. Bankman-Fried receive four doses of Adderall per day. In the Bureau of Prisons he has only been getting two. But more to the point is, when he comes here to court he is not getting anything at lunchtime. He was woken up this morning early to get here on time. He didn't get a dose then. When he doesn't have it, it's very hard for him to focus, your Honor. We could bring it, if we were permitted to, and give it to him at lunchtime, or, otherwise, we'd ask the Court to issue an order to the Bureau of Prisons directing it to do so, because it's not happening.

JUDGE KAPLAN: Have you been in touch with Ken Bork at the Bureau of Prisons?

3

MR. COHEN: We speak to him a lot, your Honor.

4

JUDGE KAPLAN: Have you been in touch with him about this?

5

MR. COHEN: No. I just found out about this today.

6

JUDGE KAPLAN: Please get in touch with him.

7

MR. COHEN: If we can't resolve it, we would like to come back to your Honor about it.

8

JUDGE KAPLAN: My problem, of course, is that the last I know, I don't have a medical license.

9

MR. COHEN: Relatedly, last week your Honor indicated that you would issue an order that Mr. Bankman-Fried could be produced early.

10

JUDGE KAPLAN: And I did. It was filed on Sunday.

11

MR. COHEN: He will be produced tomorrow morning.

12

JUDGE KAPLAN: That's the theory. You can check the order. It's online. I know the marshal service is aware of it because I sent it to them Monday or Tuesday.

14

JUDGE KAPLAN: Anything else?

15

MS. SASSOON: No. Thank you, your Honor.

16

JUDGE KAPLAN: Thank you, folks.
