On February 7, 2006, February 15, 2006, and February 27, 2006, the releasee submitted

PETITION FOR WARRANT OR SUMMONS 

FOR OFFENDER UNDER SUPERVISION

Rev.04/2005

3 PROB12C.TSR(NORTHERN).MRG

Justification: The releasee is not considered to be a danger to the community or a flight

risk at this time. After relapsing and using illicit drugs, the releasee located and enrolled

in a residential substance abuse program, where he continues to reside at this time.

Therefore, it is respectfully recommended the Court set a hearing and direct the probation

officer to contact the defendant and his counsel and advise them of the hearing.

Bail/Detention: It is respectfully recommended that the releasee be allowed to remain at

liberty while pending court hearings regarding the above alleged supervised release

violations. It does not appear the releasee is a person whose release is restricted pursuant

to 18 USC 3143.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
