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

undersigned Magistrate Judge on November 13, 2009. The United States was represented by 

Assistant United States Attorney Sarah Vogel, and the defendant by Lee Covell. 

 The defendant had been charged and convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute Cocaine, in 

violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841 (b)(1)(C). On or about January 19, 2007, defendant was

 The conditions of supervised release included the requirements that the defendant

 In a Petition for Warrant or Summons, dated November 10, 2009, 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 possession of cocaine, a felony, in 

violation of the standard condition of supervision ordering that he not commit 

another federal, state, or local crime. 

(2) Committing the criminal offense of driving under the influence, in violation of 

the standard condition of supervision ordering that he not commit another 

federal, state or local crime. 

(3) Failing to abstain from the use of alcohol in violation of the special condition 

requiring that he do so. 

(4) Failing to notify the probation officer within seventy-two hours of being 

arrested in violation of standard condition 11. 

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

alleged violation 3. He denied alleged violations 1, 2 and 4 and requested an evidentiary 

hearing before the Honorable Ricardo S. Martinez 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 3 and that the Court conduct an evidentiary 

hearing on alleged violation 1, 2 and 4. A disposition hearing on violations 3 and an 

evidentiary hearing on alleged violations 1, 2 and 4 has been set for December 4, 2009 at 11:30 

a.m. before the Honorable Ricardo S. Martinez.
