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) Defendant is viewed as a risk of danger to the community due to the

nature of the instant offense. 

(3) Defendant is viewed as a risk of nonappearance as the defendant is a

citizen of Mexico with no known ties to the Western District of

Washington and the Bureau of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement

has placed a detainer on defendant.

(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

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