RE: Matthew Shawn HURLEY

Docket Number: 2:99CR00518

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF INFORMATION

Your Honor:

On April 18, 2000, the above-named defendant was convicted of one count of a violation

of 18 USC 656 - Bank Embezzlement (CLASS A MISDEMEANOR). He was sentenced

to 2 years probation, $3,500 restitution, $200 fine, and a $25 assessment. Special

conditions were warrantless search, do not dispose of assets, financial disclosure, no new

credit, drug/alcohol testing and counseling, no alcohol, and co-payment for treatment

services.

Mr. Hurley completed probation successfully on April 17, 2002. It should be noted that Mr.

Hurley was an exemplary probationer. During his term of probation, he secured

employment as a Program Director and Counselor for Cascade Circle, a state-certified

DUI program, first in Redding; and finally in Susanville, California. More recently, he has

been employed as the Assistant Program Manager for The Cornerstone Recovery Center,

an inpatient residential drug and alcohol treatment facility in Shasta Lake, California.

Mr. Hurley has recently applied for new employment as a House Manager with the

Wilderness Recovery Center in Montgomery Creek, California; and also as a Juvenile

Probation Officer with Shasta County. He has been completely honest with these agencies

about his past probation history; and has asked me to be a reference in the event the

human resources person from either of the agencies needs clarification on his federal

case. Additionally, The Wilderness Recovery Center is a Group Home licensed by the

State of California Health and Human Services Agency. This organization has requested

a Reference Letter be completed and returned to them as part of the hiring process.

Given my knowledge of Mr. Hurley's performance under probation supervision; as well as

his continued success and employment history with two well-respectedtreatmentprograms

in the community; I am requesting the Court's permission to answer any questions which

may be posed by these agencies in the course of Mr. Hurley's employment pursuits. I feel

Mr. Hurley's performance under probation supervision; as well as his continued success

afterwards; represents the type of adjustment we, as probation officers, hope that all of

our caseload can attain. He is in a unique position to be able to help others due to his

empathy and personal experiences; and I feel he would be a fine candidate for either

position.

A copy of the State of California form CBCB - 2 is attached for the Court's review. It is

respectfully requested that permission be granted to complete this form per Wilderness

Recovery Center's request; and to provide Shasta County Probation with any information

they may need in their consideration to employ Mr. Hurley.
