UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. ALONTA HOWELL, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR ONE-TIME, LIMITED MODIFICATION OF BOND CONDITIONS (ECF No. 28)
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
This Court previously released Defendant Alona Howell on bond. One of his bond conditions requires him to remain at his residence. Howell has filed a motion stating that a member of his family, Carolyn Blackshear, has died and that her funeral is scheduled for Saturday, August 24, 2024, at the O.W. Pye Funeral Home on Plymouth Road in Detroit, Michigan. (See Mot., ECF No. 28-1.) Howell has filed a motion seeking permission to attend the funeral. The Court GRANTS the motion and authorizes Howell to leave his residence for the sole purpose of attending the funeral of Ms. Blackshear. Howell shall travel directly to the Pye funeral home from his residence before the funeral and shall return directly to his residence following the funeral. He may be out of his residence for the funeral and related functions at the Pye funeral home from 3:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. He shall not go anywhere other than the Pye funeral home during this period away from his residence. In all other respects, Howell's original bond conditions remain in full force and effect.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
