UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
 
FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND 
 
 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA  
 
 
v. 
DAVID ADLER STAVELEY, a/k/a 
“Kurt Sanborn,” a/k/a “David 
Sanborn”                         
Case No. 1:20-MJ-00034-LDA 
 
FILED UNDER SEAL 
 
GOVERNMENT’S MOTION TO WITHDRAW ITS 
MOTION FOR REVOCATION OF  
RELEASE AND ORDER OF DETENTION  
 
The government respectfully moves this Court to withdraw the motion filed on 
May 9, 2020 to revoke defendant’s bond and detain him pending trial. That motion was 
based on the reporting of a former girlfriend of defendant, C.P., who informed law 
enforcement that she felt harassed and intimidated by defendant following his arrest in 
this case. C.P. was particularly concerned with defendant’s unplanned arrival at her 
house in Essex, Connecticut on May 8, 2020. Following the initial reports from C.P., the 
government was concerned for her safety and moved this Court to revoke defendant’s 
bail. 
Following the filing of the motion for revocation, the government had additional 
conversations with C.P. and was provided with numerous text messages between C.P. 
and the defendant. While the government understands C.P.’s concerns, they appear to 
be based primarily on publicly available reporting of defendant’s prior conduct. 
Although defendant did send C.P. numerous text messages following his arrest and 

2
showed up at her house uninvited on May 8, there is insufficient evidence to prove that 
defendant acted in an objectively intimidating or harassing manner toward C.P. 
Accordingly, the government respectfully moves to withdraw its motion to 
revoke defendant’s bail. The government intends to file shortly a new motion to modify 
defendant’s release conditions to include home confinement with electronic monitoring 
based on defendant’s unauthorized trip to Connecticut.  
 
 
Respectfully submitted,
