[PROPOSED] DETENTION ORDER AFTER 

JANUARY 25, 2019 HEARING

I. BACKGROUND

On December 31, 2018, Defendant Jesse Allan Kunz was arrested on charges relating to 

possession of a firearm. On January 3, 2019, U.S. Probation filed a Form 12 charging that the December 

31 arrest violated the Defendant’s terms of supervised release. On January 25, 2019, the Court held a 

hearing on whether Defendant Kunz should be ordered detained. Gail Shifman, Esq. appeared for the 

Defendant. Jonathan U. Lee, AUSA, appeared for the United States. 

II. DISCUSSION

Following the proffers of the parties, the Court makes the following order.

For the reasons stated on the record at the hearing, summarized below, the Court grants the 

government’s motion to detain Defendant Kunz. The Court notes that at the hearing, Defendant Kunz 

offered excuses about who was in the subject vehicle on the night of his most recent arrest, but with 

respect to this particular vehicle, according to the proffer of the government and Probation, it has been

connected to recent commercial burglaries. The Court notes that the Defendant knows better than to be 

found in this vehicle while on supervised release. The Court notes that according to the proffers of the 

government and Probation, Defendant was in the driver’s seat, with the engine running, and with a 

dangerous firearm including an extended magazine and a bump stock within reach on the floorboard. 

This most recent arrest, in addition to the numerous violations while on supervised release, demonstrate 

to the Court that the Defendant is not making good decisions in recent months. The most concerning 

allegations in the Form 12, as the Court noted, do not involve drugs but have to do with the Defendant 

being in the subject vehicle and associating with an individual who is a convicted felon. Defendant has 

not met his burden to show by clear and convincing evidence that he is not a danger to the community.

For all of the reasons stated on the record at the hearing, the Court finds that no condition or 

combination of conditions would reasonably assure the appearance of the Defendant and the safety of 

any other person and the community, as required in these proceedings.

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

1. Defendant Kunz be, and hereby is, committed to the custody of the Attorney General for 

confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving 

sentences or being held in custody pending appeal;

2. Defendant Kunz be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with 

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 the Defendant is confined shall deliver the 

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

a court proceeding. 

IT SO ORDERED.
