Attorney Hermansen is authorized to contact Omega World Travel (Omega) at 1-866-

450-0401 to obtain airline tickets for himself and Dr. Yanofsky.

When Attorney Hermansen calls Omega, Omega will obtain an authorization number(s)

by calling the CJA desk at (619) 557-5736, so that Omega can charge the tickets to the United

States District Court for the Southern District of California’ account. 

Attorney Hermansen may instruct Omega where to deliver the tickets. The tickets are

fully refundable and if unused must be returned to Omega.

Attorney Hermansen and Dr. Yanofsky will travel during February 2008 (probably,

February 5-6, 2008). They may fly round trip between Monterey and San Diego, California.

From Monterey, they may rent a car to drive to and from Salinas Valley State Prison. They may

stay one night (probably February 5, 2008) at the Hilton Garden Inn Monterey (at that hotel’s

government rate of $125.00 per room). They will be reimbursed for meals for two days.

A copy of this order authorizing travel, as well as a copy of the airline tickets provided

by Omega, should be attached to the CJA vouchers for audit purposes.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
