United States v. Emanuel Stanchieff Case Number 01-cr-00312-WYD

FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW and REASONS FOR ORDER OF DETENTION This matter comes before the court on a Petition on Probation and Supervised Release and Warrant for Arrest of Probationer/Supervised Release. The Petition alleges that on June 11, 2002, the defendant was placed on supervision by District Judge Daniel, with the condition that the defendant participate in a program for substance abuse treatment, which may include testing. On July 9, 2004, the District Court modified the defendant' conditions to allow for mental health treatment. On August s 3, 2004, the District Court again modified the defendant' conditions to allow for the addition of 180 s days of community corrections placement. During a hearing on August 15, 2006, the defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing under Rule 32.1 of the Federal of Criminal Procedure, and did not present any information relating to the issue of detention. The defendant, through counsel, also advised the court that he was not contesting the government' request for detention. Based upon the facts alleged in the Petition and in s light of the defendant' waiver, the court finds that probable cause exists to believe that the defendant s violated one or more conditions of his release. Under Rule 32.1, the court " may release or detain the [defendant] under 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a) pending further proceedings. The burden of establishing that the person will not flee or pose a danger to any other person or to the community rests with the [defendant]." In making my findings of fact, I have taken judicial notice of the information set forth in the Petition on Probation and Supervised Release and the entire court file. I further note the defendant' s decision not to contest detention at this time. Weighing all of the information presently before the court, I find that defendant has failed to sustain his burden under Rule 32.1. I specifically note that the Petition indicates the defendant possessed and used illegal controlled substances on June 28, July 19 and August 9, 2004. It further appears that the defendant failed to participate in a drug treatment program as directed on May 3 and 4, 2004. On September 4, 2004, the defendant was charged with possession of a controlled substance (marijuana). Given the defendant' apparent failure to comply s with the conditions of supervised release imposed by the District Court, I find there is no combination of conditions that I could set that would properly assure the defendant' appearance at further s proceedings in this
