USA v. Addison et al

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
CHARLOTTEDIVISION
NO. 3:17CR00134-6
THE COURT, sua sponte, hereby VACATES its ORDER of March 24, 2020 (Doc No.
2887) denying Defendant’s Motion for Release from Custody due to COVID-19 Pandemic (Doc.
No. 2886), and hereby AFFIRMS the Magistrate Judge’s Text-Only Order of March 24, 2020.
The Court erroneously stepped upon the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge to first hear
and rule on issues of detention and bond, as the standard practice in this District. By this ORDER,
the Court adopts the finding of the Magistrate Judge that the Defendant was “receiving medical
treatment in the jail” and therefore denying the Defendant’s Motion.
The Court adds and finds that the Defendant has a lengthy and serious criminal record
arising in part from his membership in the United Blood Nation (hereinafter “UBN” or “Bloods”)
(Final Presentence Report, No. 2790, Part B – Defendant’s Criminal History). The Court notes that
one of the responsibilities of the Defendant as a UBN member was to assist in maintaining a
“repository of firearms that they [Bloods] could access when they needed one.” (Doc. No. 2790,
para. 21). Defendant’s criminal history, particularly his position as a gun handler for the Bloods,
makes him both a risk to public safety and a risk of flight.
