ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED MOTION TO MODIFY CONDITIONS OF RELEASE - 1 *2 Case 2:23-cr-00123-LK Document 56 Filed 05/21/24 Page 2 of 2 1 The motion raises several questions, including whether Mr. Roberson learned of the need for a cardiac evaluation during his previously approved dental appointment, see Dkt. No. 53, why he must travel so far for the evaluation, and what mode of travel he plans to take. Nevertheless, in light of his professed urgent need for dental care and the lack of opposition to this motion, the Court GRANTS the motion. Dkt. No. 54.
The Court ORDERS that Mr. Roberson will be allowed to travel to Blairsville, Georgia on May 22, 2024, stay the nights of May 22 and May 23, 2024 in Blairsville, Georgia for the cardiac evaluation on May 23, and return to Michigan on May 24, 2024. Mr. Roberson must follow all special conditions imposed by United States Magistrate Judge S. Kate Vaughan, including but not limited to providing Pretrial Services with an itinerary for approval before his departure, being chaperoned on any flight by an adult approved in advance by Pretrial Services, and not having any contact with any person under the age of 18 without the permission of the Pretrial Services Office. Dkt. No. 28 at 2.
All other terms and conditions of Mr. Roberson’s release shall remain in full force and effect.
Dated this 21st day of May, 2024.
