November 13, 2006 The Honorable Gregory M. Sleet U.S. District Court 844 N. King Street, Room 4209 Lock Box 19 Wilmington, DE 19801 Re: Riley v. CMS Our File No: 13252-00167 Civ. No.: 06-001-GMS

Dear Judge Sleet: Please accept this letter as a response to the Court's October 27, 2006 Order that the parties advise whether Riley has received the sneakers that were ordered in February 2005 and whether Riley underwent the eye consultation as ordered in January 2005. Attached are the physician orders requesting a consultation with an optometrist and high top sneakers. Correctional Medical Services became the medical provider at DCC on July 1, 2005. Therefore, prescriptions written prior to that time were by a prior medical provider under their policies. It is not the policy of CMS to provide high top sneakers. However, in an effort to honor the prior written prescription, on November 10, 2006 an order was written for high top sneakers. Plaintiff was treated on November 10, 2006 at which time Snellen and Rosenbaum examinations were performed on his eyes. Based upon the results of these examinations, a consultation with an optometrist was deemed necessary; however, an optometrist was not available on November 10 or 13, 2006. Therefore, a Consultation Request was completed, requesting a consultation with an optometrist.
