CASE NO. 06-015M

DETENTION ORDER

Offense charged:

Bank Robbery

Date of Detention Hearing: Initial Appearance January 26, 2006

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

that no condition or combination of conditions which defendant can meet will reasonably assure

the appearance of defendant as required and the safety of other persons and the community.

information available regarding his personal history, residence, family ties, ties to this District,

income, financial assets, liabilities, physical/mental health or controlled substance use if any.

(2) Defendant has a lengthy criminal record of many years that includes prior felonies,

including a prior bank robbery for which his supervised release term ended in 2004, following a

sentence of 100 months in prison. He is associated with two alias names. He has a prior

conviction for Attempting to Elude.

(3) Defendant poses a risk of nonappearance due to lack of background information,

unknown ties to this District, and his association with alias names. He poses a risk of danger due

to the nature of the current charges and prior criminal history.

(4) There does not appear to be any condition or combination of conditions that will

reasonably assure the defendant’s appearance at future Court hearings while addressing the danger

to other persons or the community. He will be represented by Michael Filipovic of the Federal

Public Defender Office, who may ask for reconsideration of this detention order if additional,

material evidence comes to light.

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
