PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND 

DETERMINATION AS TO VIOLATIONS OF 

SUPERVISED RELEASE -2 

PRIOR VIOLATION

On September 25, 2007 defendant was arrested for theft. While he was in custody, he made 

telephonic bomb threats to the Seattle FBI office. On April 7, 2008, the Court revoked 

defendant’s supervised release and sentenced him to time served and 30 months of supervised 

release. The Court also ordered Mr. Sloan to reside in a Residential Reentry Center (RCC) for up 

to 180 days as a condition of supervision. On May 9, 2008, Mr. Sloan was released from custody 

and transported to Pioneer RCC. 

PRESENTLY ALLEGED VIOLATION AND

DEFENDANT'S ADMISSION OF THE VIOLATION

In a petition dated May 29, 2008, Supervising U.S. Probation Officer Michael S. Larsen 

alleged that defendant violated the following conditions of supervised release: 

Failing to reside in and satisfactorily participate in a residential reentry center program, by 

absconding from the program, on or about May 27, 2008, in violation of the special condition 

ordering him to reside in and satisfactorily participate in a residential reentry center program for 

up to 180 days or until discharged by the program manager or U.S. probation officer. 

Defendant admitted the above violation, waived any hearing as to whether they occurred, 

and was informed the matter would be set for a disposition hearing before District Judge James L. 

Robart. 

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

Based upon the foregoing, I recommend the court find that defendant has violated the 

conditions of his supervised release as alleged above, and conduct a disposition hearing. The
