                                             FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA


UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
                   v.                                                                  Case No. 4:25cr3112

DONTAE LEWIS,                                                           ORDER OF DETENTION PENDING TRIAL
                              Defendant


                                                  Part I - Eligibility for Detention

       Upon the
             ☒ B. Motion of the Government or the Court’s own motion for a detention hearing pursuant
                  to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f)(2) because the case involves:
                       ☒ (1) a serious risk that the defendant will flee if released; or
                         threaten, injure, or intimidate, or attempt to threaten, injure, or intimidate a prospective
                         witness or juror if released.

       The Court found that the Government established one or more of the factors above, held a detention hearing, and
       found that detention is warranted. This order sets forth the Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, as
       required by 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i), in addition to any other findings made at the hearing.
                                   Part III - Analysis and Statement of the Reasons for Detention
     After considering any applicable presumption, the nature and circumstances of the defendant’s alleged conduct, the
defendant’s history and characteristics, the other factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3142(g), the information presented at the
detention hearing, and the available conditions of release under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(c), the Court concludes that the
defendant must be detained pending trial because the Government has proven:
   ☒ By clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably assure
      the safety of any other person and the community.
   ☒ By a preponderance of evidence that no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably assure the
      defendant’s appearance as required.
 The reasons for detention include the following checked items (After this list, add any additional items or explanations
as needed to comply with the requirement for a written statement of reasons under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i).):
       ☒ Lack of significant family or other ties to the community.
       ☒ Lack of stable employment.
       ☒ Prior attempt(s) to evade law enforcement.
       ☒ History of violence or use of weapons.
       ☒ Prior failure to appear in court as ordered.

The defendant is remanded to the custody of the Attorney General or to the Attorney General’s designated representative
for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or
being held in custody pending appeal. The defendant must be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation
with defense counsel. On order of a court of the United States or on request of an attorney for the Government, the person
in charge of the corrections facility must deliver the defendant to a United States Marshal for the purpose of an appearance
in connection with a court proceeding.
