CASE NO. CR06-107-JCC

Possession of Cocaine Base with Intent to Distribute

Date of Detention Hearing: Initial Appearance April 7, 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

intent to distribute.

(2) Defendant was not interviewed by Pretrial Services. Some background information

was obtained from his probation officer.

(3) Defendant is currently in violation status with U.S. Probation for attempted bank

fraud. According to his supervision officer, his adjustment to supervision has been poor.

(4) The defendant does not contest detention.

(5) Defendant poses a risk of nonappearance due to a history of failing to comply with

court orders; the alleged offense occurred while he was on state and federal probation and some

unconfirmed and unknown background information. He poses a risk of danger due to criminal

history, admitted controlled substance use and the nature of the instant offense.

(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

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
