A judge has denied a motion to release Derick Almena from custody.
Lawyers for the Ghost Ship master tenant tried to have him released on his own recognizance as he fights the charges against him for the massive fire in Oakland that killed 36 people in December of 2016.
This is the second time a judge has declined to release 48-year-old Almena.
He faces 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the fire.
The Ghost Ship creative director Max Harris is also facing those same charges.
