PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND DETERMINATION AS TO ALLEGED VIOLATIONS OF SUPERVISED RELEASE

INTRODUCTION

I conducted a hearing on alleged violations of probation in this case on December 23, 2015. The United States was represented by Andrew Friedman, and defendant was represented by Kyana Givens. The proceedings were electronically recorded.

CONVICTION AND SENTENCE

Defendant had been convicted of bank robbery on or about February 24, 2006. The Hon. John C. Coughenour of this court sentenced defendant to 120 months of confinement, followed by three years of supervised release. Defendant began his term of supervised release on August 22, 2014.

PRIOR ALLEGATIONS OF VIOLATIONS

On prior occasions during 2015, the U.S. Probation Office has reported to the court that defendant consumed marijuana (three occasions), oxycodone, alcohol and cocaine, and failed to make restitution payments as required. The court continued supervised release, but imposed various additional conditions of supervision.

PRESENTLY ALLEGED VIOLATIONS AND DEFENDANT'S ADMISSIONS

In an application dated December 3, 2015, USPO Blake Gjefle alleged that defendant violated the conditions of supervised release in three respects:

(1) Consuming alcohol, on or before October 13, 2015 (2) Consuming cocaine, on or before October 28, 2015, and November 5, 2015; and (3) Consuming marijuana on or before October 28, November 4 and November 9, 2015 At an initial hearing on December 23, 2015, I advised defendant as to these charges and as to his constitutional rights. Defendant admitted each of the three alleged violations, waived any hearing as to whether they occurred, and consented to having the matter set for a disposition hearing before Judge Coughenour

RECOMMENDED FINDINGS AND CONLUSIONS

Based upon the foregoing, I recommend the court find that defendant has violated the conditions of his supervised release in the three respects alleged, and conduct a disposition hearing. That hearing has been set for January 8, 2016 at 9:00 a.m.. Defendant appeared at his initial appearance pursuant to a summons. Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, defendant has been release on his personal recognizance, pending the disposition hearing. All of the conditions of his supervised release have been incorporated as conditions of his bond.
