On August 5, 2026, defendant appeared before the court on a Petition for Revocation of
Pretrial Release and on a Superseding Indictment. During the hearing, defendant waived his right
to a detention hearing. The court accepted Defendant’s waiver finding it was made knowingly,
voluntarily, intelligently, and upon advice of counsel.
Based on Defendant’s waiver and for the reasons articulated during the hearing, the court
REVOKES defendant’s pretrial release. Defendant is committed to the custody of the Attorney
General or 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.
Defendant shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation with 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 defendant to the United States Marshal for the
purpose of an appearance in connection with court proceedings.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 5th day of August, 2026.
