Plaintiff s charged in an Indictment from the Western District of North Carolina with four
offenses: wire fraud; securities fraud; investment adviser fraud; and money laundering. See Doc.
No. 1. He was arrested in this district and on February 18, 2020, made his initial appearance before
this court. See Doc. No. 3. He next appeared before this court for a detention hearing on February
21, 2020. See Doc. No. 7.
Finding that the United States had proven by preponderance of the evidence that there were
no conditions it could impose to reasonable assure defendant’s appearance in the Western District
of North Carolina, the court ordered defendant detained and transported to the Western District of
North Carolina by the United States Marshal. See Doc. No. 8. In its order, the court took particular
note of defendant’s limited financial resources, transient lifestyle, lack of meaningful ties to the
District of North Dakota and the Western District of North Carolina, and alleged use of aliases. Id.
On March 6, 2020, defendant filed what the court construes as a motion for reconsideration
of its detention order. 	Notably, defendant presents nothing new for this court to consider.
Moreover, he does not address all of the concerns touched upon by the court in its order of detention.
