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) Nothing in this record satisfactorily rebuts the presumption against

release:

(a) The nature of the instant offense includes the defendant allegedly

making contact with the source of supply for cocaine up to four

times a day. These contacts were telephonic and recorded. The

entire conspiracy involved substantial numbers (in the thousands)

of telephonically recorded calls for the delivery of drugs

throughout this region within a 50-day period of surveillance. 

(b) A criminal history which includes active warrants for failing to

appear as well as substance abuse problems.

(c) Defendant has no verifiable income and a long history of

unemployment. 

(3) 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

(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.

DATED this 29th day of June, 2006.
