ORDER

For the reasons set forth on the record in open court at the conclusion of

Defendant's August 31, 2006 detention hearing,

 The Court finds that a combination of conditions exist that will reasonably

assure the appearance of Defendant at all future court proceedings.

The Court further finds that a secured bond in the amount of $20,000.00 is

reasonably necessary and an indispensable component in ensuring Defendant’s presence at

trial and other future court proceedings because, if posted, it would more likely induce

Defendant to appear than without it. United States v. Mantecon-Zayas, 949 F.2d 548 (1st Cir.

1991). Moreover, if the secured bond is willingly posted by Defendant, his family or friends,

it is less likely that Defendant would fail to appear and risk the loss of his or their property

and thereby avoid this financial hardship to himself, his family or friends.

The Court further finds that less stringent or onerous conditions of release will

not give adequate and reasonable assurance that Defendant will appear as required if

Defendant were released from custody.

IT IS ORDERED that upon the posting a secured bond in the sum of

$20,000.00 with the Clerk, defense counsel shall notify the undersigned's judicial assistant,

the assigned AUSA Michael Lee and the assigned PTS' officer Jon Spano whereupon a bag

and baggage release hearing will be set before the undersigned to set all conditions of release.

United States v. Fidler, 419 F.3d 1026 (9th Cir. 2005). 

Defense counsel shall timely provide the bond details to the assigned AUSA

so that he has a fair opportunity to request a Nebbia hearing if reasonable grounds exist to

request such a hearing. United States v. Nebbia, 357 F.2d 303, 304 (2d Cir. 1966) (". . . mere

deposit of cash bail is not sufficient to deprive the court of the right to inquire into other

factors which might bear on the question of the adequacy of the bail and . . . the ability of the

surety to produce the defendant."); United States v. Noriega-Sarabia, 116 F.3d 417 (9th Cir.

1997); Rule 46(e), FED.R.CRIM.P. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that PTS shall have Defendant screened by

Recovery Homes, Inc. for possible residential placement as soon as possible so that the Court

may determine whether placement of Defendant in this facility is acceptable and appropriate

if the required bond is posted.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant shall remain detained until such

bond is posted.

DATED this 5th day of September, 2006.
