DETENTION ORDER 15.13

18 U.S.C. § 3142(i) Rev. 1/91

PAGE 2

Misuse of a Passport. The charges were filed in March, 1999. Defendant has waived an identity

hearing, and an Order of Transfer has been signed.

(2) Defendant was not interviewed by Pretrial Services. He is believed to have been

born in Turkey and is a naturalized citizen of the United States. No additional information is

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

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

(3) The defendant’s criminal history includes prior offenses including assault with a

firearm, theft, possession of marijuana over 5 kg, and possession of counterfeit currency. There

is an active bench warrant from Rhode Island for violation of suspended sentence.

(4) The defendant poses a risk of nonappearance due to unknown background

information, unknown ties to this District, the nature of the instant offense and the active warrant.

He poses a risk of danger due to his criminal history.

(5) Defendant does not contest detention at this time.

(6) 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.

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
