defendant pending trial in this case. 

☒ by a preponderance of the evidence the defendant is a serious flight risk and require the detention of the 

defendant pending trial in this case. 

PART I -- FINDINGS OF FACT 

☐ (1) 18 U.S.C. '3142 (e)(2)(A): The defendant has been convicted of a (federal offense)(state or local

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

in .1

offenses described in 18 U.S.C. ' 3142(f)(1)(A)-(C), or comparable state or local offenses. 

☐ any felony that involves a minor victim or that involves the possession or use of a firearm or 

destructive device (as those terms are defined in section 921), or any other dangerous weapon, or 

involves a failure to register under 18 U.S.C. '2250.

☐ (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 find 

that the defendant has not rebutted this presumption.
