Texas Cases November 21, 2019: United States v. De Leon

Case Description

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER OF DETENTION PENDING TRIAL

A detention hearing has been held in accordance with the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f). The following requires detention of the Defendant pending trial in this case:

(1) There are no conditions or combination of conditions that would reasonably secure the presence of the Defendant; and

(2) There are no conditions or combination of conditions that will reasonably assure the safety of the community.

The evidence against the Defendant is substantial. The findings and conclusions contained in the Pretrial Services Report are adopted. The Defendant has failed to comply with conditional supervision in the past and has failed to appear in court. Moreover the Defendant was just released from jail on a felony bond for an offense occurring in October, reflecting that he is either unwilling or unable to comply with court-ordered conditions of release. He is a poor bond candidate.

The Defendant is committed to the custody of the United States Marshal or his 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

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 shall deliver the Defendant to the United States Marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding.

ORDERED this 21st day of November, 2019.
