Case No. Mag. 6:15-MJ-0033-MJS (Yosemite)

STIPULATED MOTION FOR EARLY 

TERMINATION OF PROBATION;

ORDER THEREON

Judge: Hon. Michael J. Seng_____________

I. INTRODUCTION

Defendant, DOUGLAS HERBERT, hereby moves the Court to terminate his term of 

unsupervised probation pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3564(c). The twenty-four month term of 

probation began on August 4, 2015. Mr. Herbert appeared for his one-year review hearing on 

August 9, 2016 and was fully in compliance with his special conditions of supervision. His final 

review hearing is set for June 27, 2017. Mr. Herbert has solicited the government’s position, and 

it indicates that it stipulates to this motion. In light of that, Mr. Herbert asks that the Court issue 

the attached proposed order. No hearing is needed.

II. APPLICABLE LAW

Title 18, section 3564(c) of the United States Code authorizes the Court to terminate a 

defendant’s term of misdemeanor probation at any time if the Court is “satisfied that such action 

is warranted by the conduct of the defendant released and the interest of justice.” That section

Motion for Early Termination of Probation U.S. v Douglas Herbert

directs the Court to consider the purposes of sentencing set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) in 

deciding whether to terminate probation.

III. MR. HERBERT REQUESTS EARLY TERMINATION OF HIS TERM OF 

UNSUPERVISED PROBATION

Mr. Herbert has completed over half of his twenty-four month term of supervision and 

has no need for programming or treatment. He was ordered to complete 100 hours of 

community service and has filed proof of that. While the court gave him 22 months to do so, he 

completed his full obligation in 12 months. He also provided proof of current insurance, 

registration, and driver’s license. He appeared for his review hearing in full compliance with all 

special and standard terms of unsupervised probation.1 Defense counsel solicited the 

government’s position, and it has indicated that it stipulates to this motion. 

In light of his ability to complete all his terms of probation early, Mr. Herbert asks that 

the Court grant him early termination and discharge the remaining term of probation.
