8 GCA § 15.50

The warrant shall be signed by the judge and shall contain the name of the defendant or, if his name is unknown, any name or description by which he can be identified with reasonable certainty and shall describe the offense charged in the complaint or indictment. The warrant shall command that the defendant be arrested and brought before the court. The court may, however, set conditions upon which the defendant may be released pending his first appearance and endorse such on the warrant. The officer in charge of the detention facility where the defendant is held in custody is authorized to accept and approve any bond or deposit required by a warrant and shall promptly after acceptance file or deposit the same with the clerk of the court

COL120106 EXECUTION & RETURN from which the warrant issued and release the defendant subject to the conditions set forth in the warrant. NOTE: Section 15.50 continues the substance of former Rule 4(b)(1) and former Rule 9(b)(1). See also former § 814(b)(1). Compare Fed.R.Crim.P.4(b)(1). See generally 8 Moore, Federal Practice § 4.04 (2d ed. 1974). Although § 15.50 authorized the court to set conditions (including bail) on the release of the defendant and endorse such on the warrant, these are merely preliminary determinations and should not influence in any way the fixing of conditions for the defendant's release after his first appearance. See § 40.10.
