The defendant appeared for a hearing before the undersigned on March 15, 2010, in accordance with Rule 32.1 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure on the Petition for Warrant for Offender Under Supervision of U.S. Probation Officer Donna Rankin and the Warrant for Arrest issued by U.S. District Judge Harry S.

(2) The defendant WALTER LINDSEY.

(3) Attorney Mary Ellen Coleman for defendant.

(4) Deputy Clerk Kelli Jones.

After being sworn in due form of law the defendant was informed or reminded of his privilege against self-incrimination accorded him under the 5th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

It was determined the defendant wished to be represented by an attorney and he qualified for the appointment of an attorney to represent him at government expense. Attorney Mary Ellen Coleman of Federal Defender Services was appointed to represent the defendant. It was determined the defendant had been provided with a copy of the Petition for Warrant for Offender Under Supervision and the Warrant for Arrest and had the opportunity of reviewing those documents with Atty. Coleman. It was also determined the defendant was capable of being able to read and understand the copy of the aforesaid documents he had been provided.

Defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing and detention hearing.

AUSA Poole moved defendant be detained without bail pending his revocation hearing before U.S. District Judge Harry S. Mattice, Jr.
