employment restrictions

In a Petition for Warrant or Summons dated January 15, 2009, U.S. Probation Officer

Brian K. Facklam asserted the following violations by defendant of the conditions of his

supervised release: 

(1) Using cocaine on or about December 31, 2008, in violation of standard

condition 7 and the special condition requiring him to refrain from the use [of]

illegal drugs.

(2) Using cocaine on or before January 14, 2009, in violation of standard

condition 7 and the special condition requiring him to refrain from the use [of]

illegal drugs.

(3) Associating with Brooke Goldensoph, AKA Brooke Cudmore, Brooke Gold, a

convicted felon, in violation of standard condition 9.

On January 29, 2009, defendant made his initial appearance. The defendant was

advised of the allegations and advised of his rights. On February 6, 2009, this matter came

before the Court for an evidentiary hearing. After being advised of his rights, defendant

admitted to violation 1. Alleged violation 2 was dismissed without prejudice by the

government and violation 3 was withdrawn by the government. 

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

and conditions of his supervised release as alleged in violation 1, and that the Court conduct a

hearing limited to disposition. A disposition hearing has been set before the Honorable

Ricardo S. Martinez on February 20, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.

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

DATED this 9th day of February 2009.
