Summary

This legal document is an appeal from Jean Boustani regarding the denial of his bail application. The court affirmed the denial, clarifying that the Bail Reform Act does not permit a two-tiered bail system where wealthy defendants can essentially buy their way out of detention through private security, while similarly situated defendants of lesser means would be detained.
