ORDER

Before the Court is Defendant's Motion to Withdraw the Waiver of Temporary Right to Custody under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act. ECF No. 21.

On August 21, 2019, Defendant was indicted by a federal grand jury empaneled in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada. ECF No. 3. Defendant represents that "[he] was in state custody finishing out a state parole violation at the time of the indictment." ECF No. 21 at 2:4-5. On September 17, 2019, the Court granted the Government's request for a Writ of Habeas Corpus ad Prosequendum. ECF Nos. 7, 8, 9. On Oct. 1, 2019, Defendant made his initial appearance before Magistrate Judge Weksler on the pending indictment, and filed a waiver of his right to be placed in federal custody. ECF Nos. 14, 17. As such, Defendant is currently being held at High Desert State Prison. ECF No. 21 at 2:9-10. Defendant now asks to withdraw his waiver, and that he be taken back into federal custody at the Nevada Southern Detention Center pursuant to 18 U.S.C. App. 2, Art. IV. Id. at 2:12-14. The Government filed a Non-Opposition to the instant Motion stating that "[i]f this Court approves Defendant's request, he should be held in federal custody during the pendency of this matter as ordered by the Magistrate." ECF No. 22 at 20-22.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant's Motion to Withdraw the Waiver of Temporary Right to Custody under the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant shall be held in federal custody at the Nevada Southern Detention Center during the pendency of his federal case.
