U.S. DISTRICT COURT
DISTRICT OF R.I.

Defendant's Motion to Compel
Return of Defendant's Property

The following motion is presented to the honorable Court by the
Defendant Pro Se. The Defendant was denied counsel by the
court and he is not an attorney nor does he have any legal
experience. The Defendant is submitting this motion without
advice of counsel, while incarcerated, denied Court
notifications; Court Docket, notices, filings and Court
decisions for 85 days (over 30 actions by the Court taken
place without the defendant's knowledge), with limited
resources while incarcerated and during Covid-19 protocals
creating a limited ability for the Defendant to communicate,
garner information or achieve any level of justice or
success in these prejudiced proceedings.

Now comes Defendant David Staveley and states
as follows:

1. Defendant filed a motion to compel compliance
with the previous order of this Court requiring
the Government to turn over the property of
the Defendant to his mother. (ECF 98 & 100)

2. The Government filed a response falsely stating
that attempts had been made to return
Defendant's property. (ECF-101)

3. The Government's reply (ECF-101) made no other
excuse for its failure to comply with the Court's
order of 2/4/2022, other than the unverified
hearsay contained therein.

4. As of this date, the Defendant has finally
received back his Massachusetts driver's license,
but the other property including; his wallet, which
contained the license, his credit cards and debit
cards and his social security card, as well as,
private/personal articles like family pictures and
keepsakes from grandparents and great grandparents
have yet to be returned, now constituting over
10 months of non-compliance with this Court's
Order.

Wherefore, Defendant prays this Court as
follows:

1. Require the Government to return all of the
Defendant's property within 72 hours of the
Court's Order granting this motion; and

2. Order an appropriate sanction for the
Government's failure to comply for over
ten (10) months with the Court's order of
Case 1:20-cr-00074-WES-LDA     Document 124     Filed 12/19/22     Page 3 of 3 PageID #:

2. (cont) 2/4/2022; and

3. Such other relief as maybe consistent with
this motion.

Respectfully Submitted
