Kelley was originally scheduled to be in court again Wednesday. That's now been pushed to Dec. 8.
Kelley has been charged with four misdemeanors — knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, knowingly engaging in any act of physical violence against person or property in any restricted grounds or buildings and destruction of government property.
He has pleaded not guilty to all four charges.
In a notice filed on Tuesday, Kelley’s attorney noted his campaign for Michigan governor is officially over, which could impact his bond travel requirements.

“Defense Counsel would, however, note that Mr. Ryan Kelley is still actively involved in political issues throughout the state of Michigan, and is contemplating whether he will run for a different state or federal position,” his attorney wrote in the filing.
Kelley lost in the primary to GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon.
Each of the four misdemeanors Kelley is charged with carries a penalty of up to one year in federal prison, a fine of up to $100,000 and one year of supervised release.
