The Court, having conducted a detention hearing pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f), and

based upon the factual findings and statement of reasons for detention hereafter set forth, finds

the following:

FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION

is a flight risk and a danger to the community based on the nature of the pending charges.

Defendant has not overcome these presumptions.

DETENTION ORDER 15.13

18 U.S.C. § 3142(i) Rev. 1/91

PAGE 2

(2) Defendant is charged under an indictment from the Middle District of Florida,

filed July 31, 2002. 

(3) Defendant has almost no ties to the Western District of Washington, and he has

been living in many different jurisdictions for short periods of time.

(4) Defendant has been on an absconder status with the Florida Department of

Corrections since October 1999. In addition, in Washington, a bench warrant has been issued

against the defendant for failure to appear on a misdemeanor charge.

(5) The defendant is facing charges for which the State of Florida will be filing an

extradition request. 

(6) Defendant has failed to overcome the presumption that he would be a risk of 

flight. No conditions or combination of conditions are apparent that will reasonably assure the

defendant’s appearance at future Court hearings.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

(1) Defendant shall be detained pending trial and committed to the custody of the

Attorney General for confinement in a correction facility separate, to the extent

practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody

pending appeal;

(2) Defendant shall be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with

counsel;

(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 the defendant to a United States Marshal for the purpose

of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding; and
