IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-20386

Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

HERIBERTO LATIGO,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:15-CR-295

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, ELROD, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Heriberto Latigo appeals from the district court’s denial of his motion to 

revoke the magistrate judge’s order of detention pending his trial on criminal 

stalking charges. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2261A(2)(B), 3142, 3145.

The evidence as a whole supports the district court’s determination that 

Latigo, over the internet and in person, has engaged in conduct designed to 

“cause substantial emotional distress,” 18 U.S.C. § 2261A(2)(B), to the victim 

 

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not 

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH 

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

and presents a physical threat to her and that he would continue to do so if 

released pending trial. See § 3142; United States v. Rueben, 974 F.2d 580, 586 

(5th Cir. 1992). The evidence further supports the district court’s conclusion 

that Latigo poses a flight risk. See § 3142; Rueben, 974 F.2d at 586.

The decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.
