Before the court is the Defendant’s Motion for Reconsider of Order of Detention. (Doc. No.

program at the VA Black Hills Healthy Care System in Hot Springs, South Dakota. (Doc. No. 185).
The Defendant’s 45 day program is soon to expire and, by all accounts, the Defendant has done
exceedingly well in the program. In the current motion, the Defendant asks the court revisit its
previous order of detention so as to allow him to stay at the VA Black Hills Center. (Doc. No. 208).
Both the United States and the Pretrial Services Officer support the motion.
After consideration, the court GRANTS the Motion for Reconsideration of Order of
Detention. (Doc. No. 208). The Defendant shall be released from custody subject to the conditions
the court previously imposed in its Amended Order for Furlough. (Doc. No. 185).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
