SUPERVISED RELEASE REVOCATION AND JUDGMENT ORDER MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

JOHN T. COPENHAVER, JR., Senior District Judge.

On July 18, 2019, the United States of America appeared by Kathleen Robeson, Assistant United States Attorney, and the defendant, Matthew Harris England, appeared in person and by his counsel, Timothy LaFon, for a hearing on the petition seeking revocation of supervised release submitted by United States Probation Officer Justin L. Gibson. The defendant commenced a thirty-three month term of supervised release in this action on August 10, 2018, as more fully set forth in the Supervised Release Revocation and Judgment Order entered by the court on June 15, 2018.

The court heard the admissions of the defendant and the representations and argument of counsel.

For reasons noted on the record of this proceeding, which are ORDERED incorporated herein by reference, the court found by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant has violated the conditions of supervised release in the following respects: (1) the defendant unlawfully used and possessed an illicit controlled substance, evidenced by urine specimens which tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine on February 7, 2019, and methamphetamine, amphetamine, and MDMA on May 7, 2019, for each of which the defendant voluntarily admitted to the use of methamphetamine; and (2) the defendant failed to participate in and successfully complete the 9-12 month residential drug treatment program at Recovery Point, in that he entered the program on November 19, 2018, was initially terminated on February 13, 2019 but permitted to reenter on March 4, 2019, and was thereafter ultimately discharged on May 4, 2019 for the use of illicit controlled substances, consisting of at least methamphetamine; all as admitted by the defendant on the record of the hearing and as set forth in the petition on supervised release.

And the court finding, as more fully set forth on the record of the hearing, that the violations warrant revocation of supervised release and, further, that it would unduly depreciate the seriousness of the violations if supervised release were not revoked, it is ORDERED that the supervised release previously imposed upon the defendant in this action be, and it hereby is, revoked.

And the court having complied with the requirements of Rule 32(a)(1)(B) and (C) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and finding, after considering the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e), that the defendant should be confined to the extent set forth below, it is accordingly ORDERED that the defendant be, and he hereby is, committed to the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons for imprisonment for a period of THREE (3) MONTHS, to be followed by a thirty month term of supervised release under the same conditions as heretofore, with the additional condition that the defendant participate in and successfully complete the 9-12 month residential drug treatment program at Recovery U and follow all the rules and regulations of the facility, as more fully set forth in the Recovery U terms contained in its memorandum of July 15, 2019, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof.

The defendant is released on bond, with the requirement that he report to his designated place of incarceration to serve his sentence by 2:00 p.m. on August 23, 2019.

The Clerk is directed to forward copies of this written opinion and order to the defendant, all counsel of record, the United States Probation Department, and the United States Marshal.

Recovery U will accept Mr. Matthew England into our program upon his release. We have a bed available and waiting on him.

Recovery U is a curriculum based, long term recovery home for transitioning men with substance use disorder and other co-occurring mental health issues. We provide structured and secure housing while providing our student residents with individual and group therapy weekly, along with daily recovery-oriented classes. As our student residents phase up, they can begin to work in the community, and we will assist in finding them employment. This is usually 30 to 45 days into the program.

We use only evidence-based programs and classes. We are an RSAT based program that helps them to become aware of their behaviors as they help each other in overcoming obstacles. We utilize WRAP, Smart Recovery and the 12 step programs of AA and NA. If someone chooses MAT to help them in their recovery, we make that accessible to them as well.

Recovery U fills a gap that has existed in helping individuals not only with substance use, but with learning daily living skills, obtaining their GEDs, going back to school, getting their IDs, learning how to pay bills, and other real-life skills they need in order to leave here and be successful. We are a six-month minimum, nine to twelve-month maximum program. If being paroled to us as their home plan we require a six month minimum commitment.

If you have any questions or need more information about our program, feel free to contact me at any time.
