CASE NO. CR06-160-JCC

SUMMARY REPORT OF U.S.

MAGISTRATE JUDGE AS TO 

ALLEGED VIOLATIONS

OF SUPERVISED RELEASE

An initial hearing on supervised release revocation in this case was scheduled before me

on September 17, 2008. The United States was represented by AUSA Andrew D. Friedman and

the defendant by Jennifer Wellman. The proceedings were digitally recorded.

Defendant had been sentenced on or about November 17, 2006 by the Honorable John C.

Coughenour on a charge of Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and sentenced to 30 months custody

with credit for time served, 3 years supervised release. (Dkt. 27.)

The conditions of supervised release included the standard conditions plus the requirements

that defendant participate in a drug program, abstain from alcohol, and submit to search.

On August 19, 2008, defendant admitted violating the conditions of supervised release by

failing to report to the probation office, failing to notify his probation officer of a change in

employment, and failing to notify his probation officer of a change of residence. (Dkt. 35.)

SUMMARY REPORT OF U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE AS

TO ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF SUPERVISED RELEASE

PAGE -2

In an application dated August 28 , 2008 (Dkt. 36), U.S. Probation Officer Thomas J.

Fitzgerald alleged the following violations of the conditions of supervised release, which were

incorporated into the pending proceedings:

5. Committing the crime of Attempting to Elude a Pursuing Police Vehicle, on or

about June 18, 2008, in violation of his mandatory condition of supervised release that he not

commit another federal, state or local crime.

6. Associating with Angela B. Olsowski, a convicted felon engaging in criminal

activity, on or about June 18, 2008, in violation of standard condition number nine of his

supervised release.

Defendant was advised in full as to those charges and as to his constitutional rights.

Defendant admitted alleged violation 5 and waived any evidentiary hearing as to whether

it occurred. (Dkt. 38.) The government moved to dismiss alleged violation 6.

I therefore recommend the Court find defendant violated his supervised release as alleged

in violation 5, that the Court dismiss violation 6, and that the Court conduct a hearing limited to

the issue of disposition. The next hearing will be set before Judge Coughenour .

Pending a final determination by the Court, defendant has been detained.

DATED this 17th day of September, 2008.
