IMPRISONMENT

The defendant is hereby committed to the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons to be 

imprisoned for a term of 27 months.

The Court makes the following recommendations to the Bureau of Prisons: That the Bureau of 

Prisons designate as the place of the defendant's confinement, if such placement is consistent 

with the defendant's security classification as determined by the Bureau of Prisons, a facility 

where he may receive substance abuse evaluation and counseling as deemed necessary; anger 

management evaluation and counseling as deemed necessary; and that the defendant be placed 

in a facility as close as possible to his family in South Bend, Indiana, to facilitate regular family 

visitation. 

The Court leaves it to the BOP to calculate any credit for time served. 

The defendant is remanded to the custody of the United States Marshal.

SUPERVISED RELEASE 

Upon release from imprisonment, the defendant shall be on supervised release for a term of 2 

years.

CONDITIONS OF SUPERVISION 

1. The defendant shall not commit another federal, state, or local crime. 

2. The defendant shall not unlawfully possess a controlled substance. 

3. The defendant shall not unlawfully use any controlled substance, including marijuana, and 

shall submit to one drug test within 15 days of the beginning of supervision and at least 2 

periodic tests after that for use of a controlled substance. 

4. The defendant shall cooperate with the probation officer with respect to the collection of 

DNA. 

5. The defendant shall report to the probation officer in the manner and as frequently as the 

court or the probation officer directs, and shall notify the probation officer within 48 hours of any 

change in residence, employer, position or location of employment and within 72 hours of being 

arrested or questioned by a police officer. 

6. The defendant shall not knowingly travel outside the district without the permission of the 

probation officer, who shall grant such permission unless the travel would hinder the 

defendant’s rehabilitation or present a public safety risk. 

7. The defendant shall answer truthfully any inquiry by the probation office pertaining to the 

defendant’s supervision and conditions of supervision, and shall follow the instruction of the 

probation officer pertaining to the defendant’s supervision and conditions of supervision. This 

condition does not prevent the defendant from invoking the Fifth Amendment privilege against 

self-incrimination. 

8. The defendant shall permit a probation officer to meet the defendant at home or any other 

reasonable location and shall permit confiscation of any contraband the probation officer 

observes in plain view. The probation officer shall not conduct such a visit between the hours of 

11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. without specific reason to believe a visit during those hours would 

reveal information or contraband that wouldn’t be revealed through a visit during regular hours. 

9. The defendant shall not meet, communicate, or otherwise interact with persons whom 

defendant knows to be engaged or planning to be engaged in criminal activity. 

10. The defendant shall not possess a firearm, ammunition, destructive device, or any other 

dangerous weapon (meaning an instrument designed to be used as a weapon and capable of 

causing death or serious bodily harm). 

11. Unless an assessment at the time of release from imprisonment or commencement of 

probation indicates participation to be unnecessary, the defendant shall participate in a 

substance abuse treatment program or aftercare program. The court will receive notification of 

such assessment. The defendant shall abide by all treatment program requirements and 

restrictions, consistent with the conditions of the treatment provider. The defendant will be

Case Number: 3:16CR065-003 

Defendant: MATTHEW BISHOP Page 4 of 7 

required to participate in drug and /or alcohol testing, not to exceed 85 drug and/or alcohol tests 

per year. Upon the request of the defendant, treatment provider, or probation, the court may 

revise those conditions. While under supervision, the defendant shall not consume alcoholic 

beverages. The defendant shall pay all or a part of the costs for participation in the program, not 

to exceed the sliding fee scale as established by the Department of Health and Human Services 

and adopted by this court. Failure to pay these costs will not be grounds for revocation unless 

the failure is willful. 

12. It is further ordered that the defendant shall pay restitution to the United States District Court 

Clerk’s Office, South Bend, Indiana, which shall be due immediately, to be disbursed to the 

following victims, Kodiak Firing Range in the amount of $24,779.48, and Auto-Owners 

Insurance in the amount of $3,750.98. The defendant shall commence restitution payments in 

the manner and schedule as determined by the Court. The imposed payment schedule will 

remain in effect until such time as the Court is notified by the defendant, victim, or government 

that there has been a material change in the defendant’s ability to pay. Restitution shall be paid 

at a minimum rate of $50.00 per month commencing 60 days after placement on supervision 

until said amount is paid in full. Failure to pay according to this condition shall not be grounds for 

imprisonment unless the failure is willful. 

Within 72 hours of defendant’s release from prison, the probation officer is to meet with and 

remind the defendant of the conditions of his supervision and also to consider whether to 

recommend to the Court any modifications of or additions to those conditions in light of any 

changes in the defendant’s circumstances since the sentencing hearing. Consistent with United 

States v. Siegel (7th Cir. May 29, 2014), the Court also directs the Probation Office to notify the 

Court within 30 days of defendant’s placement on supervision so that it may consider any 

appropriate modifications to the defendant’s supervised release and schedule a hearing on that 

topic, if necessary. The defendant may also request a modification of these conditions at any 

time by filing a written motion with the Court.

CRIMINAL MONETARY PENALTIES 

The defendant shall pay the following total criminal monetary penalties in accordance with the 

schedule of payments set forth in this judgment. 

Total Assessment Total Fine Total Restitution 

$100.00 NONE $28,530.46 

The defendant shall make the special assessment payment payable to Clerk, U.S. District Court, 

102 Robert A. Grant Courthouse, 204 South Main Street, South Bend, IN 46601. The special 

assessment payment shall be due immediately. 

FINE 

No fine imposed. 

RESTITUTION 

Restitution in the amount of $28,530.46 is hereby imposed. 

The defendant shall make restitution payments (including community restitution, if applicable) 

payable to Clerk, U.S. District Court, 102 Robert A. Grant Courthouse, 204 South Main Street, 

South Bend, IN 46601, for the following payees in the amounts listed below. 

Payment should be made to Kodiak Firing Range & Training Facility in full before restitution is 

paid to Auto-Owners Insurance. 

The Court notes that the amount due to Kodiak Firing Range may be reduced by the fair market 

value of certain recovered and/or damaged firearms once they are appraised. Additionally, some 

of the restitution owing to Kodiak may be reassigned to its insurer, should its insurer approve an 

outstanding insurance claim. If either of these events occur, the Government should file a motion 

to modify the terms of restitution accordingly.

SCHEDULE OF PAYMENTS 

Having assessed the defendant's ability to pay, payment of the total criminal monetary penalties 

are due as follows: 

A Lump sum payment of $28,530.46 due immediately, balance due, in accordance with B below; 

B Payment in equal monthly installments of not less than $50.00, to commence 60 days after 

the defendant’s placement on supervision; 

Unless the court has expressly ordered otherwise, if this judgment imposes imprisonment, 

payment of criminal monetary penalties is due during imprisonment. All criminal monetary 

penalties, except those payments made through the Federal Bureau of Prisons' Inmate Financial 

Responsibility Program, are made to the clerk of the court. 

The defendant may also make payments for his financial obligations imposed herein from any 

wages he may earn in prison in accordance with the Bureau of Prisons Financial Responsibility 

Program, although participation in that program is voluntary. The defendant should note that 

failure to participate in the Financial Responsibility Program while incarcerated may result in the 

denial of certain privileges to which he might otherwise be entitled while imprisoned, and that the 

Bureau of Prisons has the discretion to make such a determination. Any portion of the defendant's 

financial obligations not paid in full at the time of the defendant's release from imprisonment shall 

become a condition of supervision. 

The defendant shall receive credit for all payments previously made toward any criminal monetary 

penalties imposed. 

If at any time this defendant’s restitution payments combine with restitution made on these claims 

by any other person amount to an aggregate sum of $28,530.46, this Defendant shall have no 

further obligation to make restitution under this order.
