This Court applies "deferential review to a district court's order of detention." United States v. Watkins, 940 F.3d 152, 158 (2d Cir. 2019). It reviews for clear error the district court's findings regarding risk of flight and whether the proposed bail package would reasonably assure the defendant's appearance in court, see United States v. English, 629 F.3d 311, 319 (2d Cir. 2011); United States v. Shakur, 817 F.2d 189, 196 (2d Cir. 1987), and will reverse only if "on the entire evidence," it is "left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed," Sabhnani, 493 F.3d at 75. 27. Once a defendant has been ordered detained, a judicial officer may "permit the temporary release of the person, in the custody of a United States marshal or another appropriate person, to the extent that the judicial officer determines such release to be necessary for preparation of the person's defense or for another compelling reason." 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i). The defendant bears the burden of showing that temporary release is necessary. See United States v. Scarborough, 821 F. App'x 598, 600 (6th Cir. 2020); United States v. Belardo, No. 20 Cr. 126 (LTS), 2020 WL 1689789, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 7, 2020). This Court has not resolved whether it reviews a district court's temporary release decision for 14 DOJ-OGR-00020372
