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

He is alleged to have failed to return to that facility, where he was residing on a post-release basis

upon serving a 72 month sentence for Bank Robbery.

(2) Defendant’s criminal record includes a past conviction for escape, as well as a prior

failure to appear.

(3) Defendant does not contest detention.

(4) Defendant poses a risk of nonappearance due to the nature of the instant offense,

his prior conviction for escape, and unknown background and ties to this district. He poses a risk

of danger due to his criminal history and the nature of the instant offense.

(5) 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

confined shall deliver the defendant to a United States Marshal for the purpose of

an appearance in connection with a court proceeding; and
