DETENTION ORDER

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 viewed as a risk of non appearance as he is a citizen of

Mexico and his ties to the Western District of Washington is unknown.

Court records reveal a history of failure to appear.

(3) Defendant stipulated to detention.

(4) 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 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
