SUMMARY REPORT OF U.S.

MAGISTRATE JUDGE AS TO

ALLEGED VIOLATION 

OF SUPERVISED RELEASE

An initial hearing on a petition for violation of supervised release was held before the

undersigned Magistrate Judge on September 28, 2007. The United States was represented by

Assistant United States Attorney Karyn S. Johnson, and the defendant by Ms. Jennifer E.

Wellman. The proceedings were recorded on cassette tape.

The defendant had been charged and convicted of Mail Theft in violation of 18 U.S.C.

§ 1708. On or about June 13, 2006, defendant was sentenced by the Honorable John C.

Coughenour to one hundred twenty-two (122) days in custody, to be followed by three (3)

years of supervised release.

The conditions of supervised release included the requirements that the defendant

comply with all local, state, and federal laws, and with the standard conditions. Special

conditions imposed included, but were not limited to, participation in substance abuse and

mental health programs, financial disclosure, $2,471.25 restitution, consent to search and

SUMMARY REPORT OF U.S. MAGISTRATE

JUDGE AS TO ALLEGED VIOLATION 

OF SUPERVISED RELEASE

PAGE 2

In a Petition for Warrant or Summons dated September 17, 2007, and a Violation

Report and Request for Warrant to be Filed Under Seal dated September 17, 2007, U.S.

Probation Officer Angela M. McGlynn asserted the following violations by defendant of the

conditions of his supervised release: 

(1) Consuming marijuana on or before September 12, 2007, in violation of

standard condition No. 7.

(2) Failing to comply with the home confinement program since September 8,

2007, in violation of the special condition requiring that he participate in the

home confinement program with electronic home monitoring as directed by the

probation officer for a period of 120 days.

On September 28, 2007, defendant made his initial appearance and was advised of the

allegations, and advised of his rights. Defendant admitted to Violation 1. As to Violation 2,

defendant admitted to failing to comply with the home confinement program “on” September

8, 2007. The government acknowledged that the violation should be amended to delete the

word “since” and substitute the word “on.” Defendant waived any rights to an evidentiary

hearing as to whether they occurred. 

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, as amended, and that the Court

conduct a hearing limited to disposition. A disposition hearing has not yet been set before the

Honorable John C. Coughenour.

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

continued supervision.

DATED this 1st day of October, 2007. AJAMES P. DONOHUE
