Case No. 1:26-mj-00031
ORDER OF DETENTION
This matter is before the Court on the government’s motion for pretrial
detention. 	Defendant has been charged by Criminal Complaint. 	The Criminal
Complaint charges defendant with being a felon in possession of a firearm, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1).
The government sought defendant’s detention on the basis that he is a danger
to the community, 18 U.S.C. § 1342(f)(1). 	The Court conducted a hearing on
January 30, 2026, at which defendant was represented by counsel.
Having considered the information presented at the hearing, the parties’ oral
submissions, and the information in the Pretrial Services Report, and for the reasons
stated on the record, the Court finds that the government has met its burden by clear
and convincing evidence that defendant is a danger to the community. Further, the
Court finds that there are no conditions or combination of conditions of release that
defendant will ensure the safety of the community. 	Accordingly,
