I agree that your suggestion could well be right, and again, your latest example is sound. Anyway, thankfully there is plenty of info here for future reference, for people to decide how any possible answers might fit with their context.
Sandro Tomasi Jan 23, 2012:
DICTO EN SU CONTRA EL JUEZ DE CONTROL, DICTO EN SU CONTRA AUTO DE VINCULACION A PROCESO, POR EL DELITO DE _________,
The arraignment/magistrate/due-process judge issued an order to proceed against the defendant for the crime of ..........
Richard Hill Jan 23, 2012:
@Sandro Tomasi I think all your reasoning and references are sound. The reason why I chose my answer is the use of the term in the source text, "DICTO EN SU CONTRA", which suggests to me that, in this particular case (workshop), such an order was given. I won't add my answer to the glossary, just in case, as Robert says, "Perhaps someone else who happens upon this posting in the future can clarify". Cheers Sandro :)
Sandro Tomasi Jan 23, 2012:
I copy and paste what Rich offered earlier in this discussion highlighting in bold why it should not be "in custody," per se, as it's only one option.

Richard Hill Jan 18, 2012:
Oh well! Although, of course, I can't be sure, I still get the feeling the court ordered him/her to be remanded in custody. Perhaps there's something else in the document that confirms or refutes this.
Robert Forstag (asker) Jan 18, 2012:
@Rich Nothing follows, unfortunately. Just blank spaces to fill in the details. The transcript is part of an exercise for judges and other court officials participating in a workshop. :)
Richard Hill Jan 18, 2012:
The term, "DICTO EN SU CONTRA" is, in part, what led me to my answer.
It would be interesting is Robert could tell us what comes after "A LAS SIGUIENTES CIRCUNSTANCIAS DE TIEMPO MODO Y LUGAR"?
Cheers Sandro!
Sandro Tomasi Jan 18, 2012:
Rich, The main point I'm trying to make is that vinculación a proceso is to decide the procedural status of the case. The procedural status of the defendant is a byproduct of that, and it may be that the def. is not "held in custody." Therefore, auto el de vinculación a proceso cannot be an order to be held in custody.
Richard Hill Jan 18, 2012:
@ Sandro Yes, and on the other hand, the http://tiny.cc/vdpie link says:
TAMBIÉN DESAPARECERÁ EL AUTO DE FORMAL PRISIÓN, dictándose en cambio el **auto de vinculación a proceso**; es en esta etapa donde el juez impondrá las medidas cautelares, entre las que se cuentan la libertad provisional o la «prisión preventiva».
Sandro Tomasi Jan 18, 2012:
Rich, http://www.cambiodemichoacan.com.mx/editorial.php?id=4347
The above link is one that you provided in which it states the following: "Por tanto, la diferencia con el auto de formal prisión o sujeción a proceso radica en que este último cierra la fase de investigación, poniendo al imputado a disposición del juez; mientras que el de vinculación a proceso se limita a establecer la relación procesal entre las partes y resolver los medios para asegurar la comparecencia del imputado a proceso."

The difference, in other words, is that the former establishes probable cause and ends the judicial investigation sending the case to trial, the latter establishes the legal right to begin a preliminary investigation affording rights to both sides. Custody is a preventive measure and an important one, but the main thing about the old and new procedures is that it moves the case along the proper procedure.

ordered to be held in custody (at bail hearing)

Bail hearing/remanded in custody
An **auto de vinculación a proces** seems to be similar to/replace “el auto de formal prisión”. It could be the “bail hearing” itself or, depending on the following text after the question, it could be “ordered to be held in custody” or “ordered to be released on bail” or “granted bail”, but I guess “ordered to be held in custody” is more likely?
A bail hearing is a judicial proceeding where the court determines if a person charged with a criminal offence should be released on bail, trusted to make any and all required court appearances up to and including a trial.
http://www.police.midland.on.ca/faq/what-bail-hearing
A bail hearing is a procedure where a judge or a justice of the peace determines whether a person charged with an offence should be released or held in custody pending trial.
http://www.defencelaw.com/printversion-bail.html
The hearing lasted about five minutes. The accused was ordered to be remanded in custody for another appearance in six weeks - a lengthy adjournment requested by Mr Meehan due to the enormity of the case.
http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/content/2011/s3293282.htm
The Court would not consider this as calling for its interposition, and the petitioner was accordingly ordered to be remanded in custody.

después de que un juez de Garantía dictó el auto de **vinculación a proceso**, es decir, el auto de formal prisión, al encontrar elementos suficientes para presumir la participación de ambos en el homicidio del servidor público.
http://www.canal44.com/noticia.php?id=135
En cuanto a la prisión preventiva -a diferencia del auto de formal prisión-, el auto de vinculación, por regla general no decreta oficiosamente la prisión preventiva del imputado, sino cuando otras medidas cautelares no sean suficientes para garantizar la comparecencia del imputado a juicio, como pueden ser, una garantía económica, presentarse ante el juez de garantías cada determinado tiempo, etcétera.

TAMBIÉN DESAPARECERÁ EL AUTO DE FORMAL PRISIÓN, dictándose en cambio el **auto de vinculación a proceso**; es en esta etapa donde el juez impondrá las medidas cautelares, entre las que se cuentan la libertad provisional o la «prisión preventiva».
http://www.presunciondeinocencia.org.mx/index.php?option=com...
El **auto de vinculación a proceso** es el documento emitido por la autoridad en el cual se le indica al indiciado de la comisión del delito que existe un procedimiento a efecto de buscar la verdad jurídica del asunto y que por lo tanto deberá enfrentar su proceso en reclusión, y solo este puede pedir que el término pueda alargarse un poco más, atendiendo a lo permitido por la misma Constitución.
El **auto de vinculación a proces**o, es en realidad el auto de formal prisión para que pueda dar inicio el proceso penal en contra de los acusados ante un juez del Tribunal Oral.

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "This *seems* to be correct, but I really don't know, as I was never able to confirm. On the other hand, I really did not want to close the question without grading. Perhaps someone else who happens upon this posting in the future can clarify. Thanks, Rich and Sandro."

bind over for initial proceedings

My understanding of this Mexican term is that if the juez de control finds that there is merit to the case, she will open up the "proceso." They still have to go through a phase where they establish probable cause and then bind over for trial. So that's why I say bind over for initial proceedings.
