U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
United States v. Rubin
August 21, 2026
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Howard Rubin's application for pretrial release under the Bail Reform Act. It held that the district court applied the correct reasonable-assurance standard and did not clearly err in finding that Rubin posed both a danger to the community and a risk of flight. The court also upheld the rejection of Rubin's proposed private-security arrangement and denied his motion for release.
