Heading: Hayward's Bond and Detention.

Text: 93 Included within Hayward's contentions about prosecutorial misconduct, he makes a sparse argument that he was prejudiced when, prior to his sentencing, the government held an ex parte proceeding before the district court and had his bond revoked on charges that he had attempted to bomb Thomas Hagen's truck. Hayward maintains that a defense investigation uncovered that another person had tried to bomb the truck. Even so, as the district court stated in response to this very argument: 94 Hayward appears to be under the mistaken impression that the court detained him because of an incident involving Tom Hagen. In fact, the court's decision was based on Hayward's inability to rebut the presumption of detention in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3143(a)(2). Hayward failed to show that there was a substantial likelihood that he would succeed on a motion for acquittal or a motion for new trial. Since the court has again rejected Hayward's arguments in its denial of defendant's motion for acquittal or a new trial, the court finds no basis for reconsidering defendant Hayward's detention pending sentencing. 95 Hayward, 772 F.Supp. at 406-07; see alsoUnited States v. Hayward, 767 F.Supp. 928, 929-30 (N.D.Ill.1991) (granting the government's motion to detain Hayward pending sentencing). On appeal, Hayward has not alleged any facts to overcome the presumption of detention. The district court's reason, therefore, to detain him pending sentencing was adequate, and we find no error.
