The court ordered her detained following a detention hearing on June 12, 2020.
On August 3, 2020, defendant filed a motion requesting the court to reconsider its order of
detention. Defendant advised that she has been accepted into an inpatient treatment program at the
Prairie Recovery Center in Raleigh, North Dakota, on condition that she first passes a physical
examination and tests negative for COVID-19 and TB. She requested the court's assistance in
arranging for the examination and testing. Additionally, she requested to be released to the Prairie
Recovery Center.
On August 4, 2020, the court issued an order in which it deferred ruling on defendant’s
motion pending completion of a physical and testing to Prairie Recovery Center’s satisfaction.
On August 14, 2020, defendant filed a supplement to her motion for reconsideration of
detention. 	She advises, among other things, that she has now completed the physical and testing
for entry into Prairie Recovery Center. On August 15, 2020, the United States filed a response
advising that it does not object to defendant’s release for treatment.
