On August 6, 2002, the district court conducted a hearing on the motion. Twenty days later, the district court denied Reynard’s motion in a thorough published opinion. See United States v. Reynard, 220 F. Supp. 2d 1142 (2002). On September 3, 2002, the district court conducted an evidentiary hearing and found the allegations contained in the OSC to be true. The court revoked Reynard’s supervised release, but then reinstated it with the additional requirement that Reynard give a blood sample. The final judgment and commitment order was filed the same day.
