United States v. Lee

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

PARKER, District Judge.

On December 17, 1999, Defendant Wen Ho Lee (“Dr.Lee”) filed “Motion of Wen Ho Lee to Revoke Magistrate Judge’s Detention Order,” (Doc. No. 17). After conducting a three-day evidentiary hearing and carefully reviewing the applicable law, I conclude that at this time there is no condition or combination of conditions of pretrial release that will reasonably assure the appearance of Dr. Lee as required and the safety of any other person, the community, and the nation. Dr. Lee’s motion will, therefore, be denied.
