[ ] The defendant is not ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a)(2) pending a hearing before the United States Magistrate Judge who set the conditions of release for determination of whether it has been clearly shown that there are exceptional circumstances under § 3145(c) why the defendant should not be detained under § 3143(a)(2), and whether it has been shown by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community if released under § 3142(b) or (c), or the Magistrate Judge finds there is a substantial likelihood that a motion for acquittal or new trial will be granted, or that the Government has recommended that no sentence of imprisonment be imposed.
