original jurisdiction over the offense and other than a Federal

    revocation of the order or amendment of the conditions of release; 
    and
        (2) the person may file, with the court having original 
    jurisdiction over the offense, a motion for amendment of the 
    conditions of release.

The motion shall be determined promptly.
    (b) Review of a Detention Order.--If a person is ordered detained by 
a magistrate judge, or by a person other than a judge of a court having 
original jurisdiction over the offense and other than a Federal 
appellate court, the person may file, with the court having original 
jurisdiction over the offense, a motion for revocation or amendment of 
the order. The motion shall be determined promptly.
    (c) Appeal From a Release or Detention Order.--An appeal from a 
release or detention order, or from a decision denying revocation or 
amendment of such an order, is governed by the provisions of section 
1291 of title 28 and section 3731 of this title. The appeal shall be

3143(a)(2) or (b)(2), and who meets the conditions of release set forth 
in section 3143(a)(1) or (b)(1), may be ordered released, under

that there are exceptional reasons why such person's detention would not 
be appropriate.
