Lennie Ellen Traversie, 	) 	Case No. 1:21-cr-028 and 1:18-cr-137
)
Defendant. 	)
On motion by defendant, the court issued an order on August 3, 2021, that conditionally
released defendant to her aunt on August 4, 2021, for transport to the Summit Prairie Recovery
Center’s (Summit) inpatient treatment facility in Watford City, North Dakota. When defendant’s
aunt proved unable to transport defendant as anticipated, the court issued an amended order on
August 5, 2021, that conditionally released defendant on August 11, 2021, to her aunt or other
person approved by the Pretrial Services office for transport to Summit. Like its original order, the
court’s amended order required defendant to reside at Summit until discharged and then return to
Marshals Service custody pending further order.
On August 9, 2021, defense counsel informed the court that Summit presently has no space
available for defendant but may have space available for her in two weeks time. Rather than issuing
a second amended order releasing defendant in two weeks with the hope that Summit may have
space available for her by that time, the court finds it prudent to simply vacate its amended order of
August 5, 2021, with the understanding that defendant can file an appropriate motion once she can
provide the court with: (1) a date certain on which Summit will have room for her; an (2) the name
of an approvable person that can transport her to Summit.
