NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

USA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MARKQUEZ BARNES, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 19-cr-00448-VC-1 (JSC) 

ORDER OF DETENTION 

On September 17, 2019, an Indictment was filed in the Northern District of California 

charging Defendant Markquez Barnes, with one count of violating Title 18, United States Code, 

Section 922(g) – Prohibited Person with a Felony Conviction in Possession of a Firearm and 

Ammunition. On October 15, 2019, Defendant appeared for arraignment on the Indictment. On 

October 17, 2019, a detention hearing was held before the Court. Defendant was represented by 

Assistant Federal Public Defender Sophia Whiting. Assistant United States Attorney Daniel 

Pastor represented the United States. 

Upon consideration of the Pretrial Services report, the United States’ memorandum in 

support of detention and its attached exhibit, and the arguments of counsel, the Court orders 

Defendant detained pending trial on the basis of danger to the community. This order is made 

without prejudice to Defendant’s right to seek review of his detention, or file a motion for 

reconsideration if circumstances warrant it. 

This order supplements the Court’s findings at the detention hearing and serves as written 

findings of fact and a statement of reasons required by 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i). As noted on the

a

record, the Court makes the following findings as the basis for its conclusion: In November 2017, 

Defendant was convicted of the robbery of a San Francisco bus passenger and received a 

significant prison sentence. Defendant was on parole for that offense when he was arrested in 

May 2019 for the current charge of unlawfully carrying a firearm and ammunition. Defendant 

also has two prior convictions for unlawful possession of a firearm. In addition, Defendant has 

multiple prior convictions for battery of a spouse or cohabitant. Defendant repeatedly violated the 

terms of community supervision and parole imposed for his previous offenses. In light of that 

record, the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that Defendant poses a danger to the 

community that cannot be sufficiently mitigated with conditions of release. 

 Accordingly, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

(1) Defendant is committed to the custody of the Attorney General for confinement in a 

corrections facility; 

(2) Defendant be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with his counsel; 

and 

(3) on order of a court of the United States or on request of an attorney for the government, 

the person in charge of the corrections facility in which Defendant is confined shall deliver 

Defendant to an authorized Deputy United States Marshal for the purpose of any appearance in 

connection with a court proceeding. 

 This Order is without prejudice to reconsideration at a later date if circumstances change. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: October 18, 2019
