 Benito Armando Caamal-Avilez

ORDER OF DETENTION PENDING TRIAL 

Case Number: 15-6346MJ

In accordance with the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f), a detention hearing was held on 

August 13, 2015. Defendant was present and was represented by counsel. I conclude by a 

preponderance of the evidence the defendant is a flight risk and order the detention of the 

defendant pending trial in this case. 

FINDINGS OF FACT 

I find by a preponderance of the evidence that: 

☒ The defendant is not a citizen of the United States or lawfully admitted for permanent residence. 

☒ The defendant, at the time of the charged offense, was in the United States illegally. ☐ The defendant has no significant contacts in the United States or in the District of 

Arizona. 

☐ The defendant has no resources in the United States from which he/she might make a bond reasonably calculated to assure his/her future appearance. 

☒ The defendant has a prior criminal history. ☐ The defendant lives/works in Mexico. 

☐ The defendant is an amnesty applicant but has no substantial ties in Arizona or in 

the United States and has substantial family ties to Mexico. ☐ There is a record of the defendant using numerous aliases. ☐ The defendant attempted to evade law enforcement contact by fleeing from law enforcement. 

☐ The defendant is facing a maximum of years imprisonment. 

 The Court incorporates by reference the material findings in the Pretrial Services 

Report which were reviewed by the Court at the time of the hearing in this matter, except as 

noted in the record. 

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.

Pretrial Services at least one day prior to the hearing set before the District Judge. 

 

 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 opportunity to interview and investigate the 

potential third party custodian.
