SUMMARY REPORT OF U.S.

MAGISTRATE JUDGE AS TO

ALLEGED VIOLATIONS

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

undersigned Magistrate Judge on July 14, 2008. The United States was represented by

Assistant United States Attorney Tate London, and the defendant by Tim Lohraff. The

proceedings were digitally recorded.

The defendant had been charged and convicted of one count of Mail Fraud and one

count of Wire Fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1341 and 1343, respectively. On or about

April 16, 2004, defendant was sentenced by the Honorable Marvin Katz in the Eastern District

of Pennsylvania to a term of twelve (12) months in custody, to be followed by three (3) years

of supervised release. On September 29, 2005, the Honorable Robert S. Lasnik signed an

order transferring jurisdiction of defendant’s supervised release to this District.

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 a substance abuse and

mental health programs, financial disclosure, $28,290 restitution, submit to search, up to 120

days at a residential reentry center; no self-employment and all employment subject to

approval by USPO prior to commencing and with third party risk disclosure; not enter any

establishment where alcohol is the primary commodity for sale; and no new lines of credit or

loans without prior approval.

In a Petition for Warrant or Summons, dated May 12, 2008, U.S. Probation Officer

Jennifer J. Tien asserted the following violations by defendant of the conditions of her

supervised release: 

1) Using alcohol on or before March 29, 2008, in violation of the special

condition of alcohol and drug aftercare.

2) Failing to report change in residence on or before March 29, 2008, in violation

of standard condition number six.

3) Failing to report for daily Breathalyzer since May 6, 2008, in violation of

standard condition number two.

4) Failing to participate in intensive outpatient drug treatment at Recovery centers

of King County, in violation of the special condition of drug and alcohol

aftercare.

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

the four alleged violations.

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

conditions of her supervised release as to violations numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, and that the Court

conduct a hearing limited to disposition. A disposition hearing on these violations has been set

before the Honorable Robert S. Lasnik on July 24, 2008, at 1:30 p.m.

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

DATED this 15th day of July, 2008.
