Annotate this CaseJames 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:
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. §§ 3041 and 3156(a) (1). We have reviewed the reasons and find no error.
AFFIRMED.
Honorable C. Clyde Atkins, Senior U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, sitting by designation
