ALTIMARI, Circuit Judge,
dissenting:
Because the majority does not follow the clear language of the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f), disregards the teachings of United States v. Payden, 759 F.2d 202, 204 (2d Cir.1985) (“Where statutory language is clear and unambiguous, we are not at liberty to adopt an interpretation different from that directed by the language.”), and impermissibly finds an implied waiver of Coonan’s statutory right, see e.g., Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 465, 58 S.Ct. 1019, 1023, 82 L.Ed. 1461 (1938) (requiring knowing and intelligent waiver of rights), I respectfully dissent.
