JOHN Y. AMOAH, :

Defendant. :

AMENDED OPINION & ORDER1

This matter comes before the Court on the United States of America’s Motion for 

Clarification Regarding Compassionate Release. (ECF No. 206). For the following reasons, the 

United States’ Motion is GRANTED.

On June 12, 2020, this Court granted Mr. Amoah’s Motion for Compassionate Release.

(ECF No. 205). On June 15, 2020, the Government filed this Motion seeking clarification of the 

terms of Mr. Amoah’s release. (ECF No. 206). Specifically, the Government “seeks an order 

clarifying that Mr. Amoah shall serve the unserved portion of the original term of imprisonment 

on supervised release” and “further requests that Mr. Amoah serve that period of supervised 

release on home confinement with location monitoring.” (Id. at 2).

At sentencing, this Court ordered the following conditions for supervised release to 

which Mr. Amoah would be subject when released from prison:

• Mr. Amoah shall comply with all mandatory conditions of supervised release. See 18 

U.S.C. § 3583(d).

• Mr. Amoah shall participate in substance abuse treatment, which includes random drug 

testing, at the direction of the Probation Officer.

1 This replaces an order that was erroneously filed at 10:59 a.m. This is the proper order in this case.

2

• Mr. Amoah shall participate in mental health counseling at the direction of the 

Probation Officer.

• Mr. Amoah shall provide all financial and bank records to the probation office as 

directed.

• Mr. Amoah shall not incur new credit charges or open lines of credit without approval 

of the probation officer.

(ECF No. 183 at 3). This Court clarifies that Mr. Amoah shall serve the remainder of his 

33-month prison sentence on home confinement and shall comply with the above terms of 

supervised release. Mr. Amoah shall participate in the home detention component of the location 

monitoring program for a period up to the balance of his remaining prison sentence. While on 

home detention in the location monitoring program, the Defendant shall be restricted to his 

residence at all times, except for employment; education; religious services; medical, substance 

abuse, or mental health treatment; attorney visits; court appearances; court-ordered obligations; 

or other activities as preapproved by the officer. The Defendant shall be monitored by the use of 

location monitoring technology at the discretion of the probation officer. The Defendant shall 

abide by all of the requirements established by the probation office related to the use of this 

location monitoring technology. The Defendant shall pay all or part of the costs of location 

monitoring based on his ability to pay as determined by the probation officer.

After finishing the remainder of his 33-month prison sentence on home confinement, Mr. 

Amoah shall serve the three years of supervised release subject to the above conditions of 

supervised release that this Court ordered at sentencing.

For the foregoing reasons, the Government’s Motion for Clarification is GRANTED.
