MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER OF DETENTION PENDING TRIAL
Julie K. Hampton, United States Magistrate Judge
A detention hearing was held today in accordance with the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f). The following requires detention of the Defendant pending trial in this case:
(1) There are no conditions or combination of conditions that would reasonably assure the appearance of the Defendant as required and the safety of the community.
The evidence against the Defendant meets the probable cause standard. The Defendant has a history of failure to appear, was on state bonds at the time the instant offense was committed, has not been compliant with his state bonds, and the nature of the instant offense involves fleeing from law enforcement personnel resulting in a vehicle accident with a person in the trunk. The findings and conclusions contained in the Pretrial Services Report are adopted.
The Defendant is committed to the custody of the United States Marshal 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.
If Defendant is able to resolve his pending cases in Pasadena, Texas, he may file a motion to re-open the detention hearing.
