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

(3) The defendant has a substantial number of arrests, which have gradually increased

in seriousness. His last arrest was for Robbery in the 1st Degree for which he was

sentenced for 46 months in custody. The present charges stem from his activities

while in 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

the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding; and

(4) The clerk shall direct copies of this Order to counsel for the United States,

to counsel for the defendant, to the United States Marshal, and to the United
