Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 4:17-CR-203-41

Before DENNIS, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: * Horacio Lugo Morales appeals the district court’s order of detention pending trial. Lugo Morales argues that the district court’s conclusion that he is a flight risk is unsupported by the evidence and that the court failed to properly weigh the relevant factors in finding that he is a flight risk. The district court found that he failed to rebut the presumption against detention

* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 18-41127 and that there was no condition or combination of conditions on which he could be released.

The district court’s determination is supported by the evidence of Lugo Morales’s significant business, financial, and personal ties to Mexico and by the evidence of his guilt. Given the record, the district court did not abuse its discretion. See United States v. Rueben, 974 F.2d 580, 586 (5th Cir. 1992); United States v. Hare, 873 F.2d 796, 798 (5th Cir. 1989). Accordingly, the order of the district court is AFFIRMED.
