*COMMENT

Under 18 U.S.C. §3145(a) and (b), a party may have a release or detention order issued by a

magistrate judge reviewed by a district judge by filing a “motion” with the Court. However, since

these orders relate to nondispositive matters referred to a magistrate judge under Fed. R. Crim. P.

59(a), parties may file a response to the motion for review of a release or detention order within 14

days after the motion is served, and the moving party may file a reply 14 days thereafter in line with

LR Cr 57.2(c).
