United States v. Heriberto Latigo

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Heriberto Látigo appeals from the district court’s denial of his motion to revoke the magistrate judge’s order of detention pending his trial on criminal stalking charges. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2261A(2)(B), 3142, 3145.

The evidence as a whole supports the district court’s determination that Látigo, over the internet and in person, has en *183 gaged in conduct designed to “cause substantial emotional distress,” 18 U.S.C. § 2261A(2)(B), to the -victim and presents a physical threat to her and that he would continue to do so if released pending trial. See § 8142; United, States v. Rueben, 974 F.2d 580, 586 (5th Cir. 1992). The evidence further supports the district court’s conclusion that Latigo poses a flight risk. See § 3142; Rueben, 974 F.2d at 586.

The decision of the district court 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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
