MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
In accordance with Rules 5 and 5.1 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and in accordance with the Bail Reform Act, 18 United States Code § 3142(f), the initial appearance, preliminary hearing and detention hearing were held in this action on September 13, 2013. Those present included:
(1) An Assistant United States Attorney for the Government.
(2) The defendant.

Upon being sworn the defendant was informed or reminded of his/her privilege against self-incrimination accorded him/her under the 5th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Conclusions
It is therefore ORDERED:
