treatment if directed; no association with known gang members, no new credit, and if deported, 

not to reenter the United States without permission. 

 In a Petition for Warrant or Summons, dated March 7, 2011, U.S. Probation Officer 

Thomas J. Fitzgerald asserted the following violations by defendant of the conditions of his 

supervised release: 

1. Using cocaine on or before November 30, 2010, in violation of standard 

condition number seven of his supervised release. 

2. Failing to report for drug and alcohol testing as directed on December 1, 2010, 

January 10 and 27, 2011, and February 7, 2011, in violation of his special 

condition of supervised release. 

3. Consuming marijuana on or before January 20, 2011, in violation of standard 

condition number seven of his supervised release. 

The defendant was advised of his rights, acknowledged those rights, and admitted to 

alleged violation 1. Defendant denied alleged violations 2 and 3, and requested that an 

evidentiary hearing be set on the same day as a disposition hearing before the Honorable 

Robert S. Lasnik on the alleged violations. 

I therefore recommend that the Court find the defendant to have violated the terms and 

conditions of his supervised release as to violation 1 and that the Court conduct an 

evidentiary/disposition hearing on alleged violations 2 and 3. A disposition hearing on 

violation 1, and an evidentiary/disposition hearing on alleged violations 2 and 3, has been set 

for April 26, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. before the Honorable Robert S. Lasnik. 

 Pending a final determination by the Court, the defendant has been released, subject to 

supervision. 

 DATED this 1st day of April, 2011.
