UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JASON HOLT, Defendant.
DETENTION ORDER
MICHELLE L. PETERSON, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Defendant Jason Holt is charged with violations of supervised release in the Eastern District of Washington. The Court held a detention hearing on October 5, 2023, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1), and based upon the reasons for detention as stated on the record and as hereafter set forth, finds:
FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION
1. There is a rebuttable presumption of detention pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(1), as incorporated in Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.1(a)(6). The burden of establishing by clear and convincing evidence that Mr. Holt will not flee or pose a danger to any other person or to the community rests with Mr. Holt.
2. Mr. Holt poses a risk of nonappearance based on a history of failure to appear,
criminal activity and other noncompliance while under supervision, a prior resisting arrest charge, and a history of substance abuse.
3. Based on these findings, and for the reasons stated on the record, there are no conditions or combination of conditions other than detention that will reasonably assure the appearance of Mr. Holt as required or ensure the safety of the community, pending his initial appearance in the Eastern District of Washington.
4. The record does not effectively rebut the presumption that no condition or combination of conditions other than detention will reasonably assure the appearance of Mr. Holt as required and the safety of the community.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:
(1) Mr. Holt shall be detained pending initial appearance in the Eastern District of Washington and committed to the custody of the Attorney General for confinement in a correction facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal;
(2) Mr. Holt shall be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with counsel;
(3) 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 Mr. Holt is confined shall deliver Mr. Holt to a United States Marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding; and
(4) The Clerk shall direct copies of this Order to counsel for the United States, to counsel for Mr. Holt, to the United States Marshal, and to the United States Pretrial Services Officer.
