United States v. Ronald E. Veatch

Citations: 35 F.3d 574; 1994 U.S. App. LEXIS 32439; 1994 WL 475026Docket: 93-6419

Court: Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit; September 1, 1994; Federal Appellate Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

Defendant Ronald E. Veatch appeals the district court's decision that upheld a magistrate judge's order denying his request for bail pending trial. The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed the appeal without oral argument, deeming it unnecessary for the case's determination. The court applied a plenary standard of review for the detention order, respecting the district court's factual findings but independently evaluating mixed questions of law and fact. After considering Veatch's arguments, the court found them unpersuasive and affirmed the district court's order denying bail. Additionally, Veatch's motion for immediate release on bail pending appeal and his request to admit newly received evidence were both denied. The mandate for this decision was issued immediately. The order is not a binding precedent but may be cited under specific conditions set forth in a previous General Order.
