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

grams or more of a mixture and substance containing cocaine base (crack cocaine). 

(2) Defendant was not interviewed by Pretrial Services. There is no additional

information regarding his personal history, residence, family ties or ties to the Western District of

Washington, income, financial assets or liabilities, physical/mental health or controlled substance

use if any. His criminal history includes inflicting corporal injury on spouse, receipt of stolen

property, assault third degree, controlled substance violations, unlawful possession of firearms,

and VUCSA charges. The defendant is on active Department of Corrections Supervision. The

defendant does not contest detention.

(3) The defendant poses a risk of nonappearance due to unknown background

information and status on active DOC supervision. He poses a risk of danger due to criminal

history and the nature of the instant charges.

(4) 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
