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

defendants. The defendants are alleged to have stolen checks from the mail, altered them, and

deposited or cashed the checks at various financial institutions.

(2) Defendant’s criminal history includes convictions for possession of stolen property,

forgery, harassment and assault in the 4th degree. Defendant is currently on state court

supervision and in non-compliance for failing to report and to obtain an anger evaluation. There

is an active warrant from Pierce County and a previous warrant from Renton for failure to appear.

(3) Defendant was born in the Phillippines. Defendant was not interviewed by Pretrial

Services. There is no additional information 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.

(4) Defendant does not contest detention.

(5) Defendant poses a risk of nonappearance because of unverified background ties,

a history of failing to appear, his status on state court supervision, and an active bench warrant.

He poses a risk of danger due to criminal history and the nature of the current charges.

(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;
