mental health programs, financial disclosure, $57,796.22 restitution, submit to search, 

maintain single checking account, no new credit, and no identification in any other name. 

 In a Petition for Warrant or Summons, dated September 9, 2011, U.S. Probation Officer 

Felix Calvillo, Jr. asserted the following violations by defendant of the conditions of his 

supervised release: 

1. Obtaining a loan for the purchase of a 1990 Cadillac vehicle, on or about May 

17, 2011, without the approval of the U.S. Probation Officer in violation of the 

special condition of supervision. 

2. Failing to disclose all assets and liabilities to the probation office on or before 

June 6, 2011, in violation f the special condition of supervision. 

3. Failing to submit a truthful and complete written report on or before June 6, 

2011, in violation of standard condition #2. 

4. Associating with Robert Lewis and Excalibur Scott both convicted felons, on or 

about June 21, 2011, in violation of standard condition #9. 

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

alleged violation 4. Defendant denied alleged violations 1, 2 and 3, and requested that an 

evidentiary hearing be set on the same day as a disposition 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 4 and that the Court conduct an 

evidentiary/disposition hearing on alleged violations 1, 2 and 3. A disposition hearing on 

violation 4, and an evidentiary/disposition hearing on alleged violations 1, 2 and 3, has been set 

for November 10, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. before the Honorable Ricardo S. Martinez.
