v.

HERIBERTO LATIGO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:15-CR-295

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, ELROD, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Heriberto Latigo appeals from the district court’s denial of his motion to
revoke the magistrate judge’s order of detention pending his trial on criminal
stalking charges. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2261A(2)(B), 3142, 3145.
       The evidence as a whole supports the district court’s determination that
Latigo, over the internet and in person, has engaged in conduct designed to
“cause substantial emotional distress,” 18 U.S.C. § 2261A(2)(B), to the victim

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

and presents a physical threat to her and that he would continue to do so if
released pending trial. See § 3142; United States v. Rueben, 974 F.2d 580, 586
(5th Cir. 1992). The evidence further supports the district court’s conclusion
that Latigo poses a flight risk. See § 3142; Rueben, 974 F.2d at 586.
      The decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.
