United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Luis Terry Wong-alvarez, Defendant-appellant

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit. - 784 F.2d 1530

March 25, 1986

James D. McMaster, McMaster Forman & Miller, P.A., Miami, Fla., for defendant-appellant.

Leon Kellner, U.S. Atty., Linda Hertz, Jon May, David O. Leiwant, Thomas Blair, Asst. U.S. Attys., Miami, Fla., for plaintiff-appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

Before GODBOLD, Chief Judge, ANDERSON, Circuit Judge, and ATKINS*, Senior District Judge.

PER CURIAM:

1

Wong-Alvarez seeks to appeal from a district judge's order affirming the order of the magistrate setting a pretrial detention bond. We remanded to the district court because neither magistrate nor district court had stated in writing the reasons for requiring a bond with the type and amounts of surety that was set, as commanded by Rule 9 FRAP. 779 F.2d 583 (11th Cir.1985). On January 15, 1986 the magistrate entered an order setting out reasons. A magistrate is a "judicial officer" within the meaning of the Bail Reform Act. See 18 U.S.C. Secs. 3041 and 3156(a)(1). We have reviewed the reasons and find no error.

2

AFFIRMED.
