JAMES P. DONOHUE 

United States Magistrate Judge 

 In a Petition for Warrant or Summons, dated July 12, 2012, U.S. Probation Officer 

Brian K. Facklam asserted the following violations by defendant of the conditions of his 

supervised release: 

1. Committing the criminal offense of assault on or about December 4, 2011, 

in violation of the general condition of supervision that he not commit 

another federal, state, or local crime. 

2. Committing the criminal offense of disorderly conduct on or about 

December 4, 2011, in violation of the general condition of supervision that 

he not commit another federal, state, or local crime. 

 On August 7, 2012, defendant made his initial appearance. The defendant was advised 

the allegations and advised of his rights. On August 22, 2012, this matter came before the 

Court for an evidentiary hearing. Defendant admitted to violations 1 and 2. 

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

conditions of his supervised release as to violations 1 and 2, and that the Court conduct a 

hearing limited to disposition. A disposition hearing on this violation has been set before the 

Honorable Robert S. Lasnik on August 30, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. 

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

supervision.
