CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 

1. There is a serious risk that the defendant will flee. 

2. No condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant as 

required.

confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or 

being held in custody pending appeal. The defendant shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private 

consultation with defense counsel. 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 shall deliver the defendant to the United States Marshal for 

the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding. 
APPEALS AND THIRD PARTY RELEASE 

IT IS ORDERED that should an appeal of this detention order be filed with the District Court, it is counsel's

hearing set before the District Court. Pursuant to Rule 59(a), FED.R.CRIM.P., effective December 1, 2009, Defendant 

shall have fourteen (14) days from the date of service of a copy of this order or after the oral order is stated on the record 

within which to file specific written objections with the district court. Failure to timely file objections in accordance

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if a release to a third party is to be considered, it is counsel's responsibility to 

notify Pretrial Services sufficiently in advance of the hearing before the District Court to allow Pretrial Services an
