For Appellant:                             MARCIA HENRY (David C. James, Lauren H. Elbert, on
                                           the brief), for Bridget M. Rohde, Acting United States
                                           Attorney for the Eastern District of New York,
                                           Brooklyn, NY

For Defendant-Appellee:                    JAMES KOUSOUROS, Law Offices of James Kousouros,
                                           New York, NY

       Appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New

York (Weinstein, J.).

       UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND

DECREED that the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

       The Government appeals from a March 7, 2017 order of the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of New York (Weinstein, J.) granting defendant-appellee Stanley Fuller

bail pending trial.   We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural

history of the case, and the issues on appeal.

       As a general rule, we review a district court’s bail determination, including its

determination as to the adequacy of proposed bail conditions, for clear error. See United States

v. Sabhnani, 493 F.3d 63, 75 (2d Cir. 2007).     The Government has represented at oral argument

that the record on appeal is complete, and thus the matter ripe for our determination.     On the

record before us, we conclude that the district court did not clearly err in determining that the

conditions proposed by the defendant were sufficient to mitigate concerns about risk of flight and

the danger the defendant presented to the community, and that Fuller was therefore entitled to

                                                 2
release on bail.   Accordingly, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court and DENY as

moot the Government’s motion for a stay pending appeal. The mandate shall issue forthwith.

                                                 FOR THE COURT:
                                                 Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk

                                             3
