Text: 1 The district court concluded that the United States was not entitled to an 18 U.S.C. § 3142 hearing to determine whether the defendant-appellee, Kenneth Rogers, should be detained pending trial on charges of possession of a firearm while subject to a protection order, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), and possession of a firearm following a misdemeanor conviction of domestic violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9). According to the district court, the crimes set out in Rogers' indictment were not crime[s] of violence within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f)(1)(A). Thus, the United States was not entitled to a detention hearing. Upon consideration of the parties' briefs and submissions, this court concludes that violations of § 922(g)(8) and (g)(9) are crime[s] of violence, entitling the United States to a detention hearing upon its request. Accordingly, exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 3145(c) and 3731 and 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court reverses the district court's release order. The case is remanded to the district court to reinstate the findings it made following the detention hearing 1 and to order Rogers detained pending trial.
