United States Second Circuit

District court erred in releasing defendant on bail pending his sentencing for a crime of violence. He does not meet the "exceptional circumstances" requirement of 18 U.S.C. section 3145(c), as there is nothing "exceptional" about going to school, being employed, or being a first-time offender, either separately or in combination.
