LAWRENCE O. ANDERSON, District Judge.

In accordance with Title 18 U.S.C. § 3142 of the Bail Reform Act, a detention hearing was held in the above-captioned matter. The Court finds that the Government has established: (Check one or both, as applicable)

[] by clear and convincing evidence, Defendant is a danger to the community and shall be detained pending trial.

[X] by a preponderance of the evidence, Defendant is a serious flight risk and shall be detained pending trial.

PART I — FINDINGS OF FACT

[] (4)____________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________

PART II — WRITTEN STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION (Check one or both, as applicable)

[] (1) The Court finds that credible testimony and information submitted at the hearing establish by clear and convincing evidence as to danger that:

[X] (2) The Court finds by a preponderance of the evidence as to risk of flight that:

[X] Defendant has no significant contacts in the District of Arizona;

[] Defendant has no resources in the United States from which he/she might make a bond reasonably calculated to assure his/her future appearance;

[] Defendant has a significant prior criminal history;

[] Defendant has a record of failure(s) to appear in court as ordered;

[] Defendant attempted to evade law enforcement contact by fleeing from law enforcement;

[] Defendant is facing a minimum mandatory of ___________ incarceration and a maximum of __________ if convicted;

[] Defendant does not dispute the information contained in the Pretrial Services Report, and all supplements, if any, except: _______________________________________________________________________________

[X] In addition:

1. Defendant, age 32, is homeless and was sleeping in his Jeep for the two weeks before his arrest; 2. Defendant has been unemployed the last eight months and worked on and off for the prior five years: 3. Defendant has a history of mental health issues. He admits he would attend mental health counseling "as a way to get through a pending case and would say what he had in order to get through the case quicker," sealed doc. 7 at 3; 4. Upon his arrest, he tested positive by PTS for opiates, marijuana, benzodiazepines, amphetamines, and methamphetamines and admits to daily use of alcohol, heroin, meth-amphetamine, and marijuana, but claims he would be able to get clean on his own and does not need substance abuse treatment. 5. He has five prior felony convictions, beginning at age 18; 6. The Government has a very strong case against Defendant. Despite the presumption of innocence, convictions are a certainty if the case is tried, providing Defendant with significant motivation to flee the U.S. if he were released from custody. See United States v. Gentry, 455 F.Supp.2d 1018, 1020 (D. Ariz. 2006) ("[D]istrict court [may] consider possible punishment as an incentive for a defendant to flee in assessing a defendant's risk of flight.") (citing United States v. Townsend, 897 F.2d 989, 995 (9th Cir. 1990)).

The Court incorporates by reference the findings of the Pretrial Services report and all supplements, if any, which were reviewed by the Court at or before the time of the hearing in this matter.

PART III — DIRECTIONS REGARDING DETENTION

IT IS ORDERED that Defendant is hereby committed to the custody of the Attorney General or his/her designated representative for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal. 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i)(2). Defendant shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation with defense counsel. 18 U.S.C. § 3142 (i)(3). Upon order of a court of the United States or request of an attorney for the Govern-ment, the person in charge of the corrections facility shall deliver Defendant to the United States Marshal Service for the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court proceeding. 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i)(4).

PART IV — APPEALS AND THIRD PARTY RELEASE

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that should a review of this detention order be filed pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3145, it is the responsibility of the movant's attorney to deliver a copy of the motion for review to U.S. Pretrial Services, at least, one day prior to the review hearing set before the assigned District Judge. Pursuant to Rule 59(a), Fed.R. Crim.P. (2010), a party seeking review shall have fourteen (14) days to file a motion for review after being served with a copy of this written order, after the oral order is stated on the record, or at some other time the assigned District Judge may set. Failure to timely file a motion for review in accordance with Rule 59(a) may waive the right to review. Rule 59(a), Fed.R.Crim.P.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the issue of detention may be reopened at any time before trial upon a finding that information exists that was not known to the movant at the time of the detention hearing and such information has a material bearing on the issue whether there are conditions of release that will reasonably assure the appearance of Defendant as required and the safety of any other person and the community.
