UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. BRANDON LEE STANLEY, Defendant.
DETENTION ORDER
MICHELLE L. PETERSON UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Mr. Stanley is charged with Possession of Controlled Substances with Intent to Distribute, 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(B), and 841(b)(1)(C), and 18 U.S.C. § 2; Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Crime, 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(i); and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). The Court held a detention hearing on May 10, 2023, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f), and based upon the reasons for detention 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. § 3142(e).
2. Mr. Stanley stipulated to detention.
3. Mr. Stanley poses a risk of nonappearance due to his history of supervision
noncompliance and failure to appear.
4. Mr. Stanley poses a risk of danger due to the nature of the instant offense, pattern of similar criminal convictions, and history of firearms possession.
5. Based on these findings, and for the reasons stated on the record, there does not appear to be any condition or combination of conditions that will reasonably assure Mr. Stanley's appearance at future court hearings while addressing the danger to other persons or the community.
6. Taken as a whole, the record does not effectively rebut the presumption that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the appearance of Mr. Stanley as required and the safety of the community.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:
(1) Mr. Stanley shall be detained pending trial, 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. Stanley 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. Stanley is confined shall deliver the defendant 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. Stanley, to the United States Marshal, and to the United States Pretrial Services Officer.
