Case Number: 15-9374MJ

In accordance with the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f), a detention hearing has been submitted to the Court. I have considered all the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3142(g). I conclude that the following facts are established: (Check one or both, as applicable.)

☐ by clear and convincing evidence the defendant is a danger to the community and detention of the defendant is required pending trial in this case. 

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

defendant is required pending trial in this case.

☐ an offense for which a maximum term of imprisonment of ten years or more is prescribed in 21 U.S.C. §§ 801 et seq., 951 et seq., or 46 U.S.C. App. § 1901 et 

seq. 

☐ an offense under 18 U.S.C. §§ 924(c), 956(a), or 2332(b).

appearance of the defendant as required and the safety of the community or any 

person. 

☐ (3) There is clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has been convicted of: 

 a crime listed in 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f)(1); and 

 the offense was committed while the defendant was on release pending trial for a Federal, State or local offense; and
