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 Mirtha Carranza Maldonado pending trial in this case:
(1) There is a serious risk that the defendant will not appear for court as required; and
(2) There is a serious risk that the defendant will endanger the safety of another person or the community.
The evidence against the defendant meets the probable cause standard. The findings and conclusions contained in the Pretrial Services Report are adopted. The defendant has not brought forward a suitable co-surety who owns at least $100,000 worth of non-exempt property. Detention is ordered without prejudice to the defendant's request to reopen upon presentation of an appropriate cosurety.
The defendant is committed to the custody of the Attorney General 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 appeal. The defendant shall 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 shall deliver the defendant to the United States marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding.
ORDERED.
