which was heard in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia (Norfolk Division). Mr. Davis was charged in a complaint in case
number: 2:11-cr-00081-1 with Conspiracy; Maintaining Drug-Involved Premises;
Possess with Intent to Manufacture and Distribute Controlled Substances;
