DETENTION ORDER

PAGE -2-

FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION

(1) There is probable cause to believe the defendant committed the drug

offense. The maximum penalty is in excess of ten years. There is

therefore a rebuttable presumption against the defendant’s release based

upon both dangerousness and flight risk, under Title 18 U.S.C. §

3142(e).

(2) The defendant is a citizen of Mexico; his ties to Western District of

Washington are unknown or unverified.

(3) Defendant is viewed as a risk of danger due to the nature of the instant

offense. The AUSA alleges that a fourth ounce of cocaine was found at

defendant’s residence at the time of arrest, raising concerns of a

substance abuse problem that has not been addressed, clinically or

otherwise.

(4) Defendant stipulated to detention.

(5) Based upon the foregoing information, it appears that there is no condition or

combination of conditions that would reasonably assure future Court

appearances and/or the safety of other persons or the community.

It is therefore ORDERED:

(l) The 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) The 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 the

(4) The clerk shall direct copies of this order to counsel for the United States, to

counsel for the defendant, to the United States Marshal, and to the United

States Pretrial Services Officer.
