DECISION AND ORDER I. INTRODUCTION Pending before the Court is the Government’s motion to revoke the release order of the magistrate judge. (Dkt. 32). For the reasons set forth below, the Government’s motion is granted and Defendant’s application to be released on conditions is denied. II. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND Defendant Moralles Mendez (“Defendant”) is charged by way of an Indictment returned on December 12, 2019, with three separate counts: (1) distribution of fentanyl and heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. §841(a)(1), (b)(1)(B), and (b)(1)(C); (2) distribution of acetyl fentanyl, fentanyl, and heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. §841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), and (b)(1)(B); and (3) possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. §841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(B). (Dkt. 1). The Indictment alleges that Defendant was previously convicted of a serious drug felony (id. at 3), thus increasing the statutory potential penalties. Defendant’s prior criminal history is significant, and as noted in the Pretrial Services Report prepared by the United States Probation Office (“USPO”), he has six prior felony convictions and numerous instances where his parole or supervised release was revoked.1 (Dkt. 41 at 4-8). Defendant’s criminal history tells the story of a serial drug trafficker unable or unwilling to comply with court orders and conditions of parole supervision: On February 26, 1999, Defendant pleaded guilty to a Class D felony drug crime, and he was sentenced to probation of five years; less than one year later, on January 21, 2000, Defendant’s probation was revoked because of a new criminal conviction; On January 21, 2000, Defendant pleaded guilty to a Class D felony drug crime and he was sentenced to 30 months incarceration to be followed by five years parole; on October 20, 2004, his parole was revoked; On June 18, 2002, Defendant pleaded guilty to a Class A misdemeanor drug crime and he was sentenced to nine months incarceration; On March 15, 2004, Defendant pleaded guilty to a Class B felony drug crime and he was sentenced to probation for life; Defendant’s probation was revoked on February 15, 2007; On October 30, 2006, Defendant pleaded guilty to a Class D felony drug crime and he was sentenced to two years incarceration and 18 months supervision; On May 31, 2013, Defendant pleaded guilty to a Class D felony drug crime and he was sentenced to four months incarceration and five years probation; the probation was revoked in May 2016, and Defendant was resentenced to five months incarceration; and On June 25, 2018, Defendant pleaded guilty to a Class C felony drug crime and he was sentenced to five years probation; less than one year later, on March 29, 2019, his probation was revoked as a result of a domestic incident with his girlfriend involving alleged violent behavior by Defendant, and he was sentenced to six months incarceration (a temporary order of protection was also imposed). (Id.). Defendant was under post-release supervision when he was arrested for the instant offense. (Id.; see Dkt. 38 at 7). After his arrest on the underlying criminal complaint on or about September 26, 2019, the Government moved for detention and a detention hearing was held before United States Magistrate Judge Jeremiah J. McCarthy on October 1, 2019. (Dkt. 2; Dkt. 4). Judge McCarthy concluded that no condition or combination of conditions would protect against the risk of flight and danger presented by Defendant’s release, and therefore ordered Defendant detained pending trial. (Dkt. 6). On April 29, 2020, Defendant filed a motion to be released from custody, arguing that a change in circumstances existed because Defendant’s father was now willing to have Defendant reside with him if released from custody, at his home in Niagara Falls, New York.
