Fredrick Miles Davis, 	) 	Case No. 1:19-cr-201
)
Defendant. 	)
On December 6, 2020, the court issued an order releasing defendant to his residence in
Wyoming pending final disposition of his matter. (Doc. No. 21). The order provided in relevant part
that “[t]he defendant must appear in court as required and must surrender to serve any sentence
imposed.” (Id.).
Defendant is scheduled to appear in this district on January 7, 2021, for a plea and sentencing
hearing. On January 4, 2021, he filed a Motion to Modify Conditions of Release. At the behest of
the Pretrial Services office in Wyoming, he requests that the court to modify its previously order to
clarify that he is permitted to travel from Wyoming to North Dakota for his hearing on January 7,
2021. As the court previously directed defendant to appear in this district as required, it would seem
axiomatic that defendant would be permitted to return to North Dakota for his plea and sentencing.
In any event, to assuage the concerns of the Pretrial Services Office in Wyoming, the court GRANTS
defendant’s motion (Doc. No. 40) and modifies defendant’s release conditions to permit him to travel
from Wyoming to North Dakota for court proceedings scheduled in North Dakota.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 5th day of January, 2021.
