REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

Pending before the Court is the Government’s request for revocation of Defendant’s 

supervised release. After the District Court referred the matter to the Court for a report and 

recommendation, it conducted a hearing on March 25, 2024, to determine whether Defendant 

violated the terms of his supervised release. Defendant was represented by Assistant Public 

Defender Brian O’Shea. The Government was represented by Assistant United States Attorney 

Maureen Smith.

On October 7, 2021, United States District Judge Mark T. Pittman sentenced Defendant to 

twenty-one (21) months imprisonment followed by three (3) years of supervised release. See 

Dkts. 1-3 at 1–2; 2 at 1. On December 20, 2022, Defendant began serving his term of supervised 

release. See Dkt. 2 at 1.

On December 13, 2023, the Probation Officer filed the Petition for Warrant or Summons 

for Offender Under Supervision (the “Petition”) (Dkt. 2), alleging Defendant violated two

conditions of his supervised release. Id. at 1–3. The Petition asserts Defendant violated the 

following conditions of supervision: (1) Defendant shall not commit another federal, state, or local 

crime; (2) Defendant shall participate in an outpatient program approved by the Probation Officer 

for the treatment of narcotic or drug or alcohol dependency that will include testing for the

detection of substance use and abstaining from the use of alcohol and all other intoxicants during 

and after completion of treatment. See id.

The Petition asserts Defendant violated the foregoing conditions as follows:

(1) On December 12, 2023, Defendant was arrested by the Aubrey Police 

Department for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon. He posted a $35,000

surety bond that same day and was released. Details of this offense have been 

requested but not received from the Aubrey Police Department. As of this writing, 

this matter remains pending.

During a conversation with the victim on December 12, 2023, she reported that she 

and Defendant had been in an on-and-off argument since December 7, 2023. 

Sometime on Saturday, December 9, 2023, the victim placed pictures of the two in 

plastic bags, intending to discard them. She said Defendant became upset about a 

picture that was thrown away. At some point on that day, the argument escalated, 

and the victim was pulled by her hair. She said Defendant grabbed a candle and 

approached her, while telling her to get his picture out of the trash. She said he also 

grabbed a belt and walked over to the door where she was standing. During this 

incident, Defendant reportedly stated, “I’m going to leave here, you’re not.” 

Defendant also stated, “I ought to take a knife and get you in the neck with it.”

The night prior to Defendant’s arrest, the victim stated she barricaded herself in her 

bedroom with a nightstand. She woke up the next morning and found Defendant in 

her room with a butter knife in his hand. The knife was reportedly used to unlock 

the bedroom door. The victim stated Defendant woke her up by yelling at her and 

stating he’s “not taking any more losses.” She stated that, given his size, she felt 

threatened when he walked up to her in anger. Lastly, the victim stated that, when 

the police finally arrived at her home, she refused to leave her bedroom until 

additional officers arrived. According to the victim, her home security camera 

caught a portion of some of the incidents, which also shows her running out of the 

house in fear.

(2) On March 8, 2023, Defendant appeared at the Probation Office for his initial 

interview. He submitted a urine specimen that tested positive for marijuana. The 

test results were verified by Alere Toxicology.

On April 20, 2023, Defendant appeared at the Probation Office for a random drug 

test and submitted a urine specimen that tested positive for marijuana. The test 

results were verified by Alere Toxicology.

Additionally, on April 27, 2023, Defendant failed to appear for outpatient substance 

abuse counseling at Fletcher Counseling.

test and submitted a urine specimen that tested positive for marijuana. The test 

results were verified by Alere Toxicology.

was rejected for testing by Alere Toxicology.

On June 7, 2023, June 22, 2023, July 5, 2023, and July 27, 2023, Defendant

appeared at the Probation Office for a random drug test and submitted a urine 

specimen that tested positive for marijuana. The test results were verified by Alere 

Toxicology.

On October 27, 2023, November 7, 2023, and November 29, 2023, Defendant

failed to appear for drug testing at the Probation Office as part of the random drug 

testing program.

On December 5, 2023, Defendant appeared at the Probation Office for a random 

drug test and submitted a urine specimen that tested positive for marijuana. The test 

results were verified by Alere Toxicology.

On March 25, 2024, the Court conducted a final revocation hearing on the Petition. See 

Minute Entry for March 25, 2024. Defendant entered a plea of true to allegation two, consented to 

revocation of his supervised release, and waived his right to object to the proposed findings and 

recommendations of the undersigned. See id.; Dkt. 12. The Government moved to withdraw 

allegation one, which the Court granted. See Minute Entry for March 25, 2024. The Court finds 

Defendant violated the terms of his supervised release, and thus, his supervised release should be 

revoked.

RECOMMENDATION

Pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, and having considered the arguments

presented at the March 25, 2024 hearing, the Court recommends that Defendant be committed to 

the custody of the Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for nine (9) months with no term of

supervised release to follow. The Court further recommends that Defendant be placed at FMC Fort 

Worth in Fort Worth, Texas, if appropriate.
