MEMORANDUM

4
On December 7, 1988, Terra Gandy was charged with possession with intent to distribute approximately 100 grams of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. Secs. 841(a) and (b)(1)(A)(iii).  Five days later, a detention hearing was held.  The magistrate concluded that probable cause existed that Ms. Gandy had committed the offense charged and that no condition or combination of conditions would reasonably assure the safety of the community from further drug distribution by her if she were released pending trial.  As a result, Gandy was ordered detained pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3142(e).  After adopting the magistrate's factual and probable cause findings, and reviewing the evidence de novo, the district court denied appellant's motion for revocation of the detention order.  We affirm the district court's decision to deny Gandy pretrial release.

Gandy contends on appeal that undue emphasis was placed on the amount of beeper numbers listed in her telephone diary.  She argues that since she has no criminal record and Pretrial Services recommended her release, her request for pretrial release should have been granted.  Upon review of the record, however, we conclude that Gandy has failed to rebut the presumption raised as to her dangerousness to the community if she were released.   See United States v. Alatishe, 768 F.2d 364, 371 (D.C.Cir.1985) (presumption places burden on defendant to offer some credible testimony to the contrary).  Both the magistrate and the district court considered factors other than the beeper numbers.  These factors, taken as a whole, weigh heavily against the release of appellant.  In particular, contrary to appellant's contention, the district court stated that the beeper numbers were not the issue, but rather the quantity of cocaine found in appellant's possession.  Transcript filed December 21, 1988 at 7.  The quantity of cocaine found in Gandy's possession itself weighs heavily against her release and supports the presumption of dangerousness to the community.  In any event, the findings of both the district court and the magistrate are amply supported by the evidence and are not clearly erroneous.   See United States v. Simpkins, 826 F.2d 94, 97 (D.C.Cir.1987);  United States v. Vortis, 785 F.2d 327, 329 (D.C.Cir.)  (per curiam), cert. denied, 107 S.Ct. 148 (1986).  Accordingly, we affirm the district court's order denying appellant's motion for revocation of the detention order.
