Darnell Lapriest Morgan, 	)

Defendant. 	)
On October 8, 2021, defendant made his initial appearance in the above-entitled action and
was arraigned. AUSA Erica M. Kinnischtzke appeared on behalf of the United States. Attorney
Christopher Redmann appeared on defendant’s behalf.
Prior to his initial appearance, defendant was incarcerated by the State of North Dakota at
the James River Correctional Center ("JRCC") in Jamestown, North Dakota. After the Indictment
in this case was returned and an arrest warrant issued, a detainer was filed by the United States with
the North Dakota prison officials. Pursuant to the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act (“IADA”),
defendant’s appearance before this court for his initial appearance and arraignment was secured by
a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum.
At his initial appearance and arraignment, defendant was advised of his rights under the
Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act (“IADA”) to continued federal custody until the charges set
forth in the Indictment are adjudicated. 	Defendant waived in open court the anti-shuttling
provisions of the IADA and agreed to remain in the custody of the State of North Dakota (the
“sending state” under the IADA) at JRCC pending further proceedings in this case initiated by the
United States (the “receiving state” under the IADA).

The court accepts defendant’s waiver, finding that it was made knowingly and intelligently,
voluntarily, and upon advice of counsel. 	Accordingly, the court ORDERS that defendant be
returned to and housed in the “sending state” under the IADA pending further proceedings or until
further order of the court. Further, pursuant to defendant’s waiver, the return of the defendant to his
place of incarceration pending trial shall not be grounds under the IADA for dismissal of the charges
set forth in the Indictment.
Dated this 8th day of October, 2021.
