Defendant. 	)
On April 7, 2026, Defendant filed a motion requesting a detention hearing to consider his
request to be release to Providence House's sober living facility near Watford City, North Dakota.
(Doc. No. 125).
A detention hearing may be reopened “if the judicial officer finds that information exists that
was not known to the movant at the time of the hearing and that has a material bearing on the issue
whether there are conditions of release that will reasonably assure the appearance of such person as
required and the safety of any other person and the community.” 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f)(2). The
information provided by Defendant is new. Consequently, the court is inclined to reopen the
detention hearing to consider Defendant's request.
Defendant's motion (Doc. No. 125) is GRANTED. The court shall schedule a detention
hearing for Defendant on April 14, 2026, at 10:30 AM (Bismarck courtroom 2 to Fargo Courtroom
2 and the Heart of America Correctional and Treatment Center via video).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 8th day of April, 2026.
