Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
OSAMA MAHMOUD ABDALLAH,
Defendant-Appellant
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 4-01-CR-108-2-A
--------------------
November 26, 2001
Before DAVIS, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Osama Mahmoud Abdallah was convicted following a jury trial
of conspiracy to commit food-stamp fraud and access-device fraud.
Abdallah appeals the district court’s order detaining him pending
sentencing. A defendant who has been convicted “shall” be
detained pending sentencing “unless the judicial officer finds by
clear and convincing evidence that the person is not likely to
flee or pose a danger to the safety of any other person or the
community if released[.]” 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a). Appellate review
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 01-11219

is limited, and the detention order will be sustained if it is
supported by the proceedings in the district court. United
States v. Cantu-Salinas, 789 F.2d 1145, 1146 (5th Cir. 1986).
Abdallah failed to satisfy the demanding burden required for
overturning the order denying his release from detention pending
sentencing. Accordingly, the district court did not clearly err
in denying his request for release pending sentencing. See id.
at 1146 & n.1.
AFFIRMED.
