1 The inclusion of requiring Petitioner’s personal effects to be included in
her release is a slight modification to Magistrate Judge John F. Docherty’s
Report and Recommendation. However, this Court believes that its
inclusion is important considering the frequency in which similarly
situated petitioners in other cases have been released without all their
important personal belongings.
