PETITIONING THE COURT 

To modify the conditions of supervised release as follows:

“The defendant shall participate in the Radio Frequency technology of the Location Monitoring Program for 

90 consecutive days and abide by all the requirements of the program. The defendant is restricted to his 

residence at all times, with the exception of: employment, education, religious services, medical, substance 

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

activities as approved in advance by the probation officer. As directed by the Court, the defendant shall pay 

all or part of the cost of the program based upon their ability to pay.” 

CAUSE

On March 7, 2013, LANGSTON reported employment with Chastang Enterprises, located at 2000 Town 

Center, Suite 1900, Southfield, Michigan, to the CTC-West Residential Re-Entry Center (RRC) where he was 

housed until May 2, 2013. On June 18, 2013, this officer attempted an employment visit at Chastang 

Enterprises and found it did not exist at that location. LANGSTON provided telephone numbers to attempt 

to verify the employment existed and claimed there was an office at the location. 

On June 18, 2013, LANGSTON eventually admitted the employer, who actually was a friend of his, made up 

the employment and never paid him for any services. He further admitted to giving fraudulent paystubs to 

the Bureau of Prisons so he could leave the Residential Reentry Center every day. LANGSTON signed the 

Waiver of Hearing to Modify Conditions of Supervised Release after he consulted with Jill Leslie Price, of 

the Federal Defender’s Office (FDO). She supported the probation department’s recommendation for 

location monitoring with a tether. On July 3, 2013, this officer, LANGSTON and FDO Price met to assure 

LANGSTON understood the restrictions of being under electronic monitoring. 

If your Honor agrees with this recommendation, please indicate below and return this correspondence to the 

probation department. If your Honor does not agree, please indicate below and direct the probation 

department as to how the Court wishes to proceed. 

Should your Honor have any question or concerns, this writer may be reached at the number below.
