                        IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                        FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
                                  DALLAS DIVISION

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA                         §
                                                 §
V.                                               §    CASE NO. 3:23-CR-252-K
                                                 §
MIHIR PATEL (01)                                 §

                ORDER DENYING REVOCATION OF PRETRIAL RELEASE
       On this day, a hearing was held on the allegations contained in the Report of Violation of

Conditions of Pretrial Release, Doc. 239. The Government appeared by and through Assistant

United States Attorneys Ryan Neidermair and Madeleine Case and announced ready to proceed.

Defendant appeared in person, via summons, and through his attorney of record, Steve Fahey,

and likewise announced ready to proceed.

       After consultation with counsel, Defendant knowingly and voluntarily pleaded true to the

allegations in the Report of Violation of Conditions of Pretrial Release. Consequently, the Court

finds by clear and convincing evidence that Defendant violated the conditions of release by

opening new lines of credit without first obtaining the permission of the Pretrial Services Officer

to do so, see Doc. 34 at 2, and that Defendant compounded that violation by being dishonest

about the nature of the transaction at issue. See 18 U.S.C. § 3148(b)(1)(B). Nonetheless, based

on the proffer and argument of counsel, and considering the extended period Defendant has been

on Pretrial Release without any other violations and the nature of the instant violation, the Court

further finds that there continue to be conditions of release or a combination of conditions that

will reasonably assure Defendant’s appearance as required and the safety of the community or

another person. 18 U.S.C. § 3148(b)(2)(A) Additionally, the Court does not find that Defendant

is unlikely to abide by those conditions going forward. 18 U.S.C. § 3148(b)(2)(B).

        Thus, the Court’s June 28, 2023 Order Setting Conditions of Release, Doc. 34, remains

in full force and effect, including the admonition of the consequences of failing to abide by the

conditions of release.

       SO ORDERED, March 31, 2025.
