F DETEN

09-20403 

TION PENDING TRIAL 

In accordance with the Bail Refonn Act, 18 U.S.c. § 3142(f), a detention hearing has been held. I conclude that the following facts require the 

detention of the defendant pending trial in this case. 

Part I-Findings of Fact 

D (1)	 The defendant is charged with an offense described in 18 U.S.c. § 3142(f)(1) and has been convicted ofa D federal offense D state 

or local offense that would have been a federal offense if a circumstance giving rise to federal jurisdiction had existed - that is 

D a crime ofviolence as defined in 18 U.S.c. § 3156(a)(4). 

D an offense for which the maximum sentence is life imprisonment or death. 

D an offense for which a maximum tenn of imprisonment of ten years or more is prescribed in 

* 

D a felony that was committed after the defendant had been convicted of two or more prior federal offenses described in 18 U.S.c. 

§ 3142(f)(1)(A)-(C), or comparable state or local offenses. 

D (2) The offense described in finding (1) was committed while the defendant was on release pending trial for a federal, state or local offense. 

D (3) A period ofnot more than five years has elapsed since the D date of conviction D release ofthe defendant from imprisonment 

for the offense described in fmding (1). 

D (4) Findings Nos. (1), (2) and (3) establish a rebuttable presumption that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the 

safety of(an) other person(s) and the community. I further fmd that the defendant has not rebutted this presumption. 

Alternative Findings (A)

lit (1)	 There is probable cause to believe that the defendant has committed an offense 

for which a maximum tenn of imprisonment often years or more is prescribed in _T_itl_e_2_1 _ 

D under 18 U.S.c. § 924(c). lit (2)	 The defendant has not rebutted the presumption established by fmding (1) that no condition or combination ofconditions will reasonably assure 

the appearance ofthe defendant as required and the safety ofthe community. 

Alternative Findings (B) 

D (1) There is a serious risk that the defendant will not appear. 

D (2) There is a serious risk that the defendant will endanger the safety of another person or the community. 

Part II-Written Statement of Reasons for Detention 

I find that the credible testimony and infonnation submitted at the hearing establishes by riI clear and convincing evidence D a preponderance ofthe evidence that 

there are no conditions or combination of conditions that will reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant and the safety of 

the community as required considering the factors listed in 18 U.S.C. 3142(g) given the present 10 year mandatory minimum 

sentence, defendant's prior convictions for a drug felony and an illegal possession of a firearm, defendant's relatively current 

possession of firearms, as demonstrated by a video played in court, his use of a controlled substance, his lack of verifiable 

employment and other reasons stated on the record at the hearing. 

Part III-Directions Regarding Detention 

The defendant is committed to the custody ofthe Attorney General or his designated representative for confmement 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.
