KRISTI K. DuBOSE, Chief District Judge.
This matter is before the Court on Ulrick Eugene Campbell's
Campbell pleaded guilty to possession with the intent to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). (Doc. 45 (Order on Guilty Plea)). Back in January 2015, this Court sentenced Campbell to a prison term of 33 months, followed by 36 months of supervised release. (Doc. 69 (Judgment)). According to the Bureau of Prisons, he was released from custody on March 3, 2017. He has therefore completed in excess of two-thirds of his supervised release term.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(1), after consideration of the relevant factors in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), the Court may "terminate a term of supervised release and discharge the defendant released at any time after the expiration of one year of supervised release, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure relating to the modification of probation, if it is satisfied that such action is warranted by the conduct of the defendant released and the interest of justice." 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(1). Factors to consider include the defendant's history and characteristics, deterrence to criminal conduct, protection of the public from future crimes by the defendant, and the need for educational training or other types of care in the most efficient manner.
Campbell writes that since his release from custody in 2016 he has not reoffended, including even receiving a traffic citation. He further writes that he has been compliant with the terms of his supervised release and that he has maintained steady employment since 2017. Moreover, he writes that he has successfully pursued a Commercial Driver's License, which involved classes at Bishop State Community College. Campbell writes that the opportunity for increased income motivates him to seek early termination. As a result of the conditions of supervised release, his ability to freely travel is restricted; this has hampered his efforts at increased income. He also wants to initiate the process of restoring his voting rights.
In support of his motion, Campbell included numerous letters attesting to his (i) employment status; (ii) professionalism; (iii) efforts at financial stability; (iv) disposition as a student; and (v) contributions as an employee.
Upon consideration of the factors Congress established, the United States' lack of opposition, and the Probation Office's recommendation, Campbell's motion is
The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this order to Campbell.
