UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. SEAN GODWIN, Defendant.


DETENTION ORDER


I. DETENTION ORDER

Defendant Sean Godwin is charged in a criminal complaint with a violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (possession with intent to distribute MDMA). At the March 13, 2013 hearing before this Court, Defendant, who was in custody and represented by Assistant Federal Public Defender Ellen Leonida, waived the timing of his right to proffer information at a detention hearing, see 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f), and also waived findings, while retaining his right to seek release at a later hearing should his circumstances change. Assistant United States Attorney Christina McCall appeared on behalf of the United States.

II. CONCLUSION

The Court hereby detains Defendant, but because he has waived his right to present information under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f) without prejudice to raising relevant information at a later hearing, the Court orders that the hearing may be reopened at Defendant's request at any future time.

Defendant shall remain committed to the custody of the Attorney General for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal. Defendant shall be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with 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 in which Defendant is confined shall deliver Defendant to a United States marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
