Davina Rose Smith, 	) 	Case No. 1:21-cr-030
)
Defendant. 	)
On January 23, 2026, Defendant filed a Motion for Furlough. (Doc. No. 83). She requested
to be temporarily released on January 29, 2026, so that she can participate in a chemical dependency
evaluation at the Good Road Recovery Center in Bismarck North Dakota.
On January 26, 2026, the court issued an order temporarily releasing Defendant to the third-
party custody Good Road Recovery staff for transport to and from her chemical dependency
evaluation. (Doc. No. 84). The United States marshal has since informed the court that Defendant
currently has an active warrant for her arrest in Ward County.
As the state would take custody of Defendant pursuant to its warrant upon her release from
federal custody, preventing Defendant from traveling to the Good Road Recovery Center for her
chemical dependency evaluation, the court VACATES its previous order granting Defendant’s
motion for furlough. Defendant shall remain the custody of the United States marshal pending
further order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 26 th day of January, 2026.
