Curtis Aldin Starr, Jr., 	)
) 	Case No. 4:14-cr-232
Defendant. 	)
Defendant is charged in a petition with violation his conditions of supervised release. (Doc.
No. 83). On January 7, 2026, he waived his right to preliminary and detention hearings and was
ordered detained pending by the court pending a final hearing on the petition. (Doc. Nos 94 and 96).
On January 27, 2026, the court was advised that Defendant is currently hospitalized at
Trinity Hospital in Minot, North Dakota, for a medical emergency. The court is inclined, on its own
motion, to temporarily release Defendant while he is hospitalized. Absent a furlough, the United
States Marshal Service (“USMS”) or its contract designee will be required to maintain a presence
at the hospital for the duration of Defendant's hospitalization. Temporarily releasing Defendant will
allow the USMS to conserve its limited resources. Moreover, it will afford Defendant with privacy
while hospital staff attends to his medical issues.
Accordingly, the Defendant is temporarily released from custody. Upon his discharge from
Trinity Hospital, Defendant shall immediate contact the USMS or its designee and thereafter
surrender to the facility designated by the USMS with the understanding that he will remain in
custody pending further order from the court. Defendant shall keep the USMS apprised of his
anticipated discharge date. Trinity Hospital shall also inform the United States Marshals Service
