Opinion
NO. 3:09-CR-6 (CAR), VIOLATION: 18 U.S.C. § 111(a) and (b) 18 U.S.C. § 2.
February 8, 2010
ORDER
The above-named defendant this day appeared before the undersigned for an INITIAL APPEARANCE HEARING pursuant to provisions of Rule 5 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. At said hearing, the court determined that the defendant is currently in federal custody serving a sentence of incarceration of 420 months imposed in the District of South Carolina, and that release from custody is not anticipated in the near future. Thus, release from custody in the above-styled case appears to be a moot issue.
Accordingly, the court will HOLD IN ABEYANCE any consideration of release of this defendant from custody in this case under the Bail Reform Act of 1984 until such time as he may be released from custody on his District of South Carolina conviction. Counsel for the government and for the defendant are directed to immediately advise the court of any such release; in that event, the defendant shall be brought before this court FORTHWITH for consideration of his release from custody in the above-captioned case under the Bail Reform Act of 1984.
SO ORDERED.
