Appeal from the United States District Court

October 19, 1998
Before DAVIS, DUHE’ and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Carlos Torres appeals from the district court’s order
denying his motion to revoke the magistrate judge’s pretrial
detention order. Torres’s indictment on drug charges gives rise
to a presumption that no conditions of release exist that would
reasonably assure that he would appear at trial. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 3142(e); United States v. Trosper, 809 F.2d 1107, 1110 (5th
Cir. 1997). Because Torres has not produced evidence necessary
to overcome the statutory presumption that he is a flight risk,
the district court’s order is AFFIRMED.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
