Case No. 3:12-mj-247

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. EVERADO RIOS-MUCTEZUMA, Defendant.
Magistrate Judge Michael J. Newman
BINDOVER AND DETENTION ORDER
This case came on for initial appearance on July 18, 2012. With the assistance of a Spanish-language translator, Defendant indicated his desire to waive a preliminary examination.
With the advice of counsel, Defendant knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived his preliminary examination. Based on the Affidavit filed in support of the Complaint, the Court finds there is probable cause to believe Defendant committed the offense alleged in the Complaint and orders that he be bound over to the grand jury to answer that charge.
Based upon the Affidavit in support of the complaint, the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions set forth in 18 U.S.C.' 3142(c) will reasonably assure the appearance of the Defendant as required and the safety of the community. The Court notes that Defendant is illegally in the United States and would be placed in custody to await deportation if he were released.
The term "safety of the community" refers to the community's security from criminal conduct by the Defendant, whether violent or not. United States v. Redd, Case No. CR-3-00-92 (S.D. Ohio January 22, 2001) (citing United States v. Ramsey, 110 F. 3d 65, 1997 WL 135443 (6th Cir. March 24, 1997)(unpublished)(when considering the "safety of the community" in the context of pre-trial release, "the courts look to more than whether the defendant has been guilty of physical violence"); United States v. Vance, 851 F. 2d 166, 169 (6th Cir. 1988)(recognizing that community safety concerns focus on not only the safety of particular individuals, but also on the safety of the community as a whole).
The Government's Motion to detain is GRANTED.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:
1) the Defendant be committed to the custody of the Attorney General of the United States for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal;
2) the Defendant be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with counsel; and
3) on Order of a court of the United States or on request of an attorney for the United States, the person in charge of the facility in which the Defendant is confined deliver the Defendant to a United States Marshal or his deputy for the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding.
Defendants who appeal to a District Judge from this Order must, at the same time as filing the appeal, order a transcript of the detention hearing from the court reporter.
