u A. Rebuttable Presumption Arises Under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e)(2) (previous violator): There is a rebuttable
presumption that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of any other person
and the community because the following conditions have been met:
u (1) the defendant is charged with one of the following crimes described in 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f)(1):

ordered on that basis. 3DUW,,,QHHGQRWEHFRPSOHWHG
OR
u The defendant has presented evidence sufficient to rebut the presumption, but after considering the
presumption and the other factors discussed below, detention is warranted.
Part III - Analysis and Statement of the Reasons for Detention
After considering the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3142(g) and the information presented at the detention hearing,
the Court concludes that the defendant must be detained pending trial because the Government has proven:
u 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
u
the defendant’s appearance as required.
In addition to any findings made on the record at the hearing, the reasons for detention include the following:
u Weight of evidence against the defendant is strong
u Subject to lengthy period of incarceration if convicted
u Prior criminal history
u Participation in criminal activity while on probation, parole, or supervision
u History of violence or use of weapons
u History of alcohol or substance abuse
u Lack of stable employment
u Lack of stable residence
u Lack of financially responsible sureties

u Significant family or other ties outside the United States
u Lack of legal status in the United States
u Subject to removal or deportation after serving any period of incarceration
✔ Prior failure to appear in court as ordered
u
u Prior attempt(s) to evade law enforcement
u Use of alias(es) or false documents

u Prior violations of probation, parole, or supervised release
OTHER REASONS OR FURTHER EXPLANATION:
Defendant previously appeared in this Court in April of this year in case number 4:23-mj-19. He had been arrested on a warrant which
was issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The warrant was issued after he had failed to
appear on several occasions related to a misdmeanor information. At that time, he was granted a bond and directed to appear at the
United States Courthouse in Wilmington, NC. Defendant failed to appear on the date directed. He also failed to appear on a
subseuqent date. As a result, a new warrant issued and the defedant was arrested and appeared before this Court a second time. In
light of the defendant's recurrent inability to appear in court when told to do so, the undersigned is incapable of crafting a set of
conditions which would provide a reasonable assurance that he will appear as required. Detention is the approrpriate result.
Part IV - Directions Regarding Detention
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.
