On September 13, 2023, the United States Probation Office filed a motion informing of Defendant's violations to his conditions of release. Docket No. 696. The United States Probation Office filed a second motion on September 14, 2023, informing of additional violations and requesting an arrest warrant. An arrest warrant was issued at Docket No. 700 and the Defendant is currently detained.

Pursuant to the Bail Reform Act, the Court “shall enter an order of revocation and detention if, after a hearing, the judicial officer” finds (1) clear and convincing evidence that a violation of conditions of release occurred, and (2) the person is unlikely to abide by any condition or combination of conditions of release. 18 U.S.C. § 3148(b). A bond revocation hearing was held today. The Defendant did not contest the alleged violations at Docket Nos. 696 and 698. At this juncture, the Court is of the opinion that Defendant is unlikely to abide by conditions of release. Therefore, Defendant's bond is revoked. The Defendant is to remain detained pending trial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
