DECISION AND ORDER

FRANK P. GERACI, JR., Chief District Judge.

INTRODUCTION

On April 16, 2019, Defendant Hector Ortiz filed a pro se motion for early termination of his supervised release. ECF No. 65. The Government response, filed on April 24, 2019, opposes the motion. ECF No. 67. For the following reasons, Defendant's motion is DENIED.

On July 3, 2014, Defendant waived indictment and entered a plea of guilty to a one-count Information charging him with wire fraud. ECF Nos. 36-39. The Court sentenced Defendant on December 16, 2014, to 41 months of incarceration followed by three years of supervised release. ECF No. 49. It ordered a special assessment of $100 and restitution in the amount of $852,500. Defendant received a credit on the restitution in the amount of $454,674.51, which represented the sale of his Florida home. The balance of restitution remaining was $397,825.49.

Defendant served his term of imprisonment without incident and was released by the Bureau of Prisons on January 12, 2018.

DISCUSSION

The Court may modify, terminate, or revoke a term of supervised release after considering factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a).1 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e).

Here, Defendant is a totally-disabled, 54-year-old man whose only income is from the Veterans' Administration due to his disability. He expects to begin receiving Social Security Disability payments by the end of April 2019.

The Government opposes early termination of Defendant's supervised release because Defendant is $190.00 in arrears on his restitution payments. He also failed to make monthly payments in February, May, August, September, and October of 2018, and February and March of 2019. Defendant did make four payments, totaling $2,380.00, in April 2019.

Because of the large amount of restitution remaining in this case, coupled with Defendant's failure to follow a regular schedule of restitution payments, his motion for early termination of his supervised release is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
