3/30/2020MEMORANDUM & ORDER as to Alberto Marte. On March 27, 2020, the Court held a telephone conference regarding defendant's application pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i) for temporary release from custody during the current Covid-19 pandemic. (ECF No. 93.) The Court has reviewed the governments opposition (ECF No. 94) and defendants replies. (ECF No. 95, 98.)18 U.S.C. § 3142(i) provides that, where a detention order has been issued, a judicial officer may, by subsequent order, permit the temporary release of the person, in the custody of a United States marshal or another appropriate person, to the extent that the judicial officer determines such release to be necessary for preparation of the persons defense or for another compelling reason. Compelling reasons may exist where the defendants serious medical conditions warrant release. ( See, e.g., United States v. Rebollo-Andino, 312 F. Appx 346, 348 (1st Cir. 2009) (explaining that a defendant who is denied bail retains the ability to request[,]... in extraordinary circumstances,... temporary release under § 3142(i) should future developments with respect to his medical conditions so warrant). Because there is no justifiable reason for the Court to change its prior ruling that, based on the clear and convincing evidence against him, defendant has not overcome the presumption pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e)(3) that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the appearance of defendant and the safety of the community, ( see id. at 17:8-20), defendants application is denied.
