FOR DETERMINATION OF BAIL
At Wilmington this 13"‘ day of April 2007,
Defendant has been charged by information with a violation of federal law.
An Initial Appearance was held where defendant was present with his Court appointed
counsel. At that time, the government moved for detention of defendant. Prior to the
Initial Appearance, defendant was interviewed by Pretrial Services where it was learned
that defendant may be suffering from a mental health condition. Thereafter, it was
confirmed by Pretrial Services that defendant suffers from schizophrenia (paranoid) for
which he has been receiving treatment and has been prescribed medications. l—lis
mental health status, however, is unknown because prior to the detention hearing
scheduled on April 12, 2007, defendant refused to consent to disclosure of his mental
health treatment records. At the hearing, counsel for defendant advised that his client
would consent to disclosure of his mental health condition and treatment records.
Since there is evidence to suggest that defendant has not always been compliant with

his mental health treatment and because the Court presently has no information
regarding the present status of his condition, it is unable to determine whether, under
the circumstances, pretrial release is appropriate and the pretrial release conditions that
should be imposed. Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that defendant be held in temporary custody at the
Philadelphia Detention Center. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Detention Center
evaluate the defendant and prepare a report for the Court regarding the present status
of his mental health on or before IVIay 1, 2007. The Detention Center shall advise the
Court immediately whether the evaluation and report can be corripleted by this date.

the appropriate consent forms provided by Pretrial Services to enable it to obtain
defendant’s mental health records and to authorize Pretrial Services to discuss
defendant’s mental health condition and treatment with his mental health care
providers. Should those records and/or discusses be adequate to understand the
status of defendant’s mental health condition, Pretrial Services shall advise the Court
as soon as possible of its recommendations regarding release and the conditions to be
imposed.
