IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA 

TO THE HONORABLE G. MURRAY SNOW, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:

 Upon Defendant’s request to enter an admission to the violation(s) of supervised 

release, pursuant to Rule 57.6(d)(4) of the Local Rules of Criminal Procedure, this matter 

was referred by the District Court and came on for a hearing before United States 

Magistrate Judge Steven P. Logan on May 24, 2012, with the written consents of the 

Defendant, counsel for the Defendant, and counsel for the United States of America. 

 In consideration of that hearing and the statements made by the Defendant under 

oath on the record and in the presence of counsel, and the remarks of the Assistant United 

States Attorney and of counsel for Defendant, 

I FIND as follows: 

 (1) that the Defendant understands the nature of the supervised release violation(s) 

alleged and the nature of the violation to which the Defendant is admitting; 

 (2) that the Defendant understands the right to a revocation hearing, to persist in 

United States of America, 

 

 Plaintiff, 

vs. 

Christian Santiago Arbizo, 

 Defendant.

denials, to the assistance of counsel at a revocation hearing, to confront and crossexamine adverse witnesses, and the right against compelled self-incrimination; 

 (3) that the Defendant understands the maximum disposition for the supervised 

release violation; the Defendant also understands that the disposition guidelines are 

advisory only and that the District Judge may depart from those guidelines under some 

circumstances; 

 (4) that the Defendant’s admission to violating supervised release has been 

knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made and is not the result of force or threats; 

 (5) that the Defendant is competent to admit to a supervised release violation; 

 (6) that the Defendant understands that by admitting to violation(s) of supervised 

release the Defendant waives the right to a revocation hearing; 

 (7) that there is a factual basis for the Defendant’s admission; and 

 (8) that the Defendant is satisfied with counsel’s representation. 

I RECOMMEND that the Court accept the Defendant’s admission of the 

violation(s) of supervised release. 

ORDER 

IT IS ORDERED that any objection to the admission to a violation of supervised 

release proceedings and any request for supplementation of those proceedings be made 

by the parties in writing and shall be specific as to the objection or request made. All 

objections or requests for supplementation shall be filed within fourteen (14) days of the 

date of service of a copy of these findings unless extended by an Order of the assigned 

District Judge. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any letters, documents, or other matters 

Defendant would like the assigned District Judge to consider before disposition 

(including the English translation of any writings not in English) must be submitted in 

paper form with the original to the probation office and copies to the assigned District 

Judge and opposing counsel no later than seven (7) business days prior to the disposition 

date or they may be deemed untimely by the assigned District Judge and not considered.

 Dated this 25th day of May, 2012.
