    v.
    ROBERT WILLIAM MOORE,
    Defendant-Appellant
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of Texas
    USDC No. 3:09-CR-141-3
    Before GARZA, SOUTHWICK, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Robert William Moore is charged with one count of conspiracy to commit
    wire fraud, eight counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit money
    laundering, and one count of conspiracy to obstruct official proceedings. Moore
    appeals from an order of the district court revoking the magistrate judge’s
    pretrial order granting release on bond.
    The district court revoked the magistrate judge’s order, determining that
    there were no conditions or combination of conditions that would reasonably
    *
    Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
    be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
    R. 47.5.4.

    No. 11-10558
    assure Moore’s presence at trial if Moore were released. 
    18 U.S.C. § 3142
    (e)
    & (f). We review the order issued by the district court, not that of the magistrate
    judge. United States v. Westbrook, 
    780 F.2d 1185
    , 1188 n.4 (5th Cir. 1986).
    Absent an error of law, we will uphold a district court’s pretrial detention order
    if it is supported by the proceedings below. United States v. Rueben, 
    974 F.2d 580
    , 585-86 (5th Cir. 1992).1 Having reviewed the transcript of proceedings and
    other pertinent portions of the record in light of the factors set forth in § 3142(g),
    we conclude that the district court’s conclusions are supported by the record. See
    id. at 586; see also United States v. Fortna, 
    769 F.2d 243
    , 249 (5th Cir. 1985).
    Furthermore, Moore is not entitled to release for any delay on the part of the
    district court in ruling on the Government’s motion to revoke. See United States
    v. Montalvo-Murillo, 
    495 U.S. 711
    , 717-722 (1990); 
    18 U.S.C. § 3145
    (a).
    Accordingly, we conclude that it is unnecessary to reach the question of whether
    there was a delay; similarly, we do not reach the question of what other
    “remedy” would be appropriate for such a delay.
    The pretrial order of detention is AFFIRMED.
    1
    Moore challenges this standard of review employed by our court. Under the rule of
    orderliness, we are bound by our prior precedent except in certain situations not applicable
    here. French v. Allstate Indem.Co.
    637 F.3d 571
    , 589 (5th Cir. 2011) In any event, we conclude
    that, so long as we give some deference to the district court’s factual findings, the outcome
    would be the same.
