ORDER ON PROBABLE CAUSE AND DETENTION

ROBERT B. JONES, JR., Magistrate Judge.

This matter came before the court for a preliminary examination regarding charges against Defendant contained in a criminal complaint and for a hearing on the government's motion, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142, to detain Defendant pending further proceedings. Defendant is charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§922(g)(1) and 924.

At the commencement of the consolidated hearings, Defendant, who was represented by counsel, indicated to the court his intention to waive the preliminary examination and detention hearing in this matter. Defendant and his counsel executed the requisite paperwork memorializing Defendant's desire to waive the preliminary examination and detention hearing in this case. After conducting an inquiry of Defendant and his counsel in open court, this court finds that Defendant has waived his right to a preliminary examination and detention hearing knowingly and voluntarily and the court accepts Defendant's waiver of his right to a preliminary examination and detention hearing. Based on Defendant's knowing and voluntary waiver, this court holds Defendant over for the presentment of his case to the grand jury. Based on Defendant's waiver of his right to a detention hearing, the court finds there is no condition, or combination of conditions, that can be imposed which would reasonably assure Defendant's appearance and/or the safety of another person or the community.

Defendant is therefore committed to the custody of the Attorney General or a designated representative for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or held in custody pending appeal. Defendant shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to consult privately with defense counsel. On order of United States Court or on request of an attorney for the government, the person in charge of the corrections facility shall deliver Defendant to the United States Marshals for a court appearance.

SO ORDERED.
