             Case 2:21-mj-00159-MAT Document 6 Filed 03/18/21 Page 2 of 3




01         1.      Defendant has been indicted in the District of Oregon for Wire Fraud,

02 Aggravated Identity Theft and Money Laundering. He also is charged with violating pretrial

03 release based on allegations that defendant absconded from the charging district. The AUSA

04 alleges defendant was in abscond status for 7 weeks and recent purchases indicate an intention

05 to elude apprehension.      He was not interviewed by Pretrial Services, so much of his

06 background information is unknown or unverified.

07         2.      Defendant poses a risk of nonappearance based on lack of stable residence,

08 mental health history, noncompliance while on pretrial supervision, and lack of verifiable

09 employment.        Defendant poses a risk of danger based on mental health history and

10 noncompliance while on pretrial supervision.

11         3.      There does not appear to be any condition or combination of conditions that will

12 reasonably assure the defendant’s appearance at future Court hearings while addressing the

13 danger to other persons or the community.

14      It is therefore ORDERED:

15      1. Defendant shall be detained pending trial, and committed to the custody of the Attorney

16         General for confinement in a correction facility;

17      2. Defendant shall be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with

18         counsel;

19      3. On order of the United States or on request of an attorney for the Government, the person

20         in charge of the corrections facility in which defendant is confined shall deliver the

21         defendant to a United States Marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection

22         with a court proceeding; and

02        for the defendant, to the United States Marshal, and to the United State Probation

03        Services Officer.
