Plaintiff, 	Case No. 1:23-cr-00054
v. 	Hon. Paul L. Maloney
CEDRIC DEMOND SMITH, JR.,
Defendant.
____________________________________/
ORDER OF DETENTION
Defendant appeared on December 8, 2025, for a detention hearing. For the reasons stated
on the record, the Court finds that the government proved by a preponderance of the evidence that no
condition or combination of conditions will assure the defendant’s appearance at trial.
Accordingly, pending trial in this matter, the defendant is committed to the custody of the
Attorney General or his designated representative for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the
extent practicable, from persons serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal. The defendant
shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation with his defense counsel. 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 shall deliver the defendant to the United States Marshal for the purpose of an
appearance in connection with a court proceeding.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
