UNITED STATES v. FIGUEROA RAMOS (2018)

Juan Carlos Figueroa-Ramos appeals the district court's order of detention pending trial. Since the order was issued, Figueroa-Ramos has entered a guilty plea. This Court upholds a district court's pretrial detention order “if it is supported by the proceedings below, a deferential standard of review that we equate to the abuse-of-discretion standard.” ¹ Based on the record before us, including Figueroa-Ramos's criminal history and his plea of guilty to a felony, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying bail. We AFFIRM.
