On December 6, 2023, the court issued an order releasing Defendant subject to a number of
conditions, one of which was the requirement that she reside at Blessed Builders, a sober living
facility Bismarck, North Dakota. (Doc. No. 215). On January 26, 2024, the court modified
Defendant’s release conditions to permit her to reside at Twyla’s House, a sober living facility also
located in Bismarck, with the caveat that she was to surrender to the custody of the United States
Marshal if terminated from Twyla’s House.
On March 1, 2024, the Pretrial Services Office and the United States Marshals Service
advised the court that Defendant was terminated by Twyla’s House, surrendered to the custody of
the United States Marshal as required by the court’s order, and is being housed at the Burleigh
Morton Detention Center.
Meanwhile, Defendant filed a “Motion Amending Bond Conditions.” 	(Doc. No. 353).
Therein she requested that the court amend her release conditions to permit her to reside at a sober
living facility located at 312 West Reno Avenue in Bismarck. She further advised that she has
recently obtained employment at the Radisson Hotel in Bismarck.

House weighs in her favor. Nevertheless, the court cannot ascertain from the present record why
Defendant was terminated from Twyla’s House. 	In addition, the court cannot ascertain from
Defendant’s motion the name of the sober living facility at which she is proposing to reside or
whether this facility can and will immediately accept her. Consequently, the court shall defer ruling
on Defendant’s motion pending a hearing. In the interim, Defendant shall remain in the custody of
the United States Marshal.
A hearing on Defendant’s motion shall be scheduled for March 5, 2024, at 2:00 PM by
