UNITED STATES,
Appellee,
v.
JOSE PADILLA-GALARZA,
Defendant, Appellant.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF PUERTO RICO
[Hon. Hector M. Laffitte, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Chief Judge,
Boudin and Lipez, Circuit Judges.
Marlene Aponte Cabrera on brief for appellant.
Guillermo Gil, United States Attorney, Jorge E. Vega-
Pacheco, Assistant United States Attorney, and Camille Velez-
Rive, Assistant United States Attorney, on brief for appellee.
August 3, 2000
Per Curiam. After a thorough review of the record
and of the parties’ submission, we affirm the order of
detention based on dangerousness and risk of flight, for the
reasons stated by the magistrate judge and district judge
below. We add only that the presumption in 18 U.S.C. §
3142(e) applied here, and we see virtually no evidence
presented by appellant Jose Padilla-Galarza (“Padilla”)
which would rebut the presumption of dangerousness. The
only evidence tending to show Padilla might not return to
drug trafficking if released – the commendations he received
as a police officer – are wholly unconvincing, given the
government’s proffer that he engaged in drug trafficking
while still a member of the force.
Affirmed. 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27(c).
