Order re ECF No. 17 — United States v. Hill (Dkt. 21, D. Nev.)

Summary

In this order of December 7, 2022, U.S. Magistrate Judge Brenda Weksler of the District of Nevada rules on Shavonte Hill's Motion for Temporary Release (ECF No. 17), which sought release to attend the funeral of Mr. Hill's father, scheduled for December 9, 2022. The Court does not order release, and the order states that U.S. Marshals Service policy does not allow Mr. Hill to physically attend the service. It directs the U.S. Marshals Service to arrange an in-person visit at the New Jerusalem Worship Center in Las Vegas, accompanied by four U.S. Marshals, and directs the Nevada Southern Detention Center to let Mr. Hill observe the funeral by video conference on December 9, 2022 between 12:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. The order notes that the Government opposed the motion but did not oppose a visit to the funeral home.

 4         United States of America,                                       Case No. 2:22-mj-00726-BNW
 5                          Plaintiff,
                                                                                Order re ECF No. 17

10               Presently before the Court is Defendant Shavonte Hill’s Motion for Temporary Release.

11     ECF No. 17. The Government opposed at ECF No. 19. 1 The Court held a hearing on December 7,

12     2022. ECF No. 20.

13               Mr. Hill seeks temporary release to attend his father’s funeral that is scheduled for

14     December 9, 2022. ECF No. 17 at 2. The Court will not order his release but will allow him to

15     spend some time in the presence of his deceased father at the funeral home while in the company

16     of United States Marshals. As explained in Court, whether and when Mr. Hill will be able to visit

17     with his father at the funeral home depends on several factors which are outside of this Court’s

18     control.

19               To be clear, this order does not allow Mr. Hill to physically attend the service, as USMS

20     policy does not allow for that. Nevertheless, Mr. Hill will be allowed to virtually participate in the

21     service from the detention center. This Court requests that the detention center allow Mr. Hill to

22     be in a private room while he virtually participates in the service.

23               IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the U.S. Marshals Service shall make arrangements

24     with the New Jerusalem Worship Center located at 1818 N. Martin Luther King Blvd; Las Vegas,

25     NV 89106 for Mr. Hill to have an in-person visit with his father while accompanied by four U.S.

26     Marshals.

         At the hearing, the Government stated that it did not oppose Mr. Hill visiting the funeral home for an in-person
28     private viewing where he would be accompanied by four U.S. Marshals. ECF No. 20.
                                                               1
