MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
APPEARANCES: For the Government:
Richard Donoghue
United States Attorney
610 Federal Plaza
Central Islip, New York 11722-4454
By: Allen Bode, A.U.S.A. For Defendant Pro Se:
Kareem Middleton

Kissimmee, FL 34741 HURLEY, Senior District Judge
The Court is in receipt of Kareem Middleton's June 18, 2018 pro se application, made pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(1), for early termination of his period of supervised release.
Having reviewed the reasons set forth in his application as well as the government's response thereto dated August 2, 2018, I am not convinced that his conduct and the interest of justice warrant granting the requested relief based on the information furnished. Among other things, Mr. Middleton's representation in his moving papers that "U.S. Probation Officer Miranda Lutke does not oppose [his] request," is not problematic at this point given (1) that there is nothing from Ms. Lutke so indicating and (2) the government maintains that "his current supervising probation officer in the Eastern District of California does not agree that Mr. Middleton should be terminated from supervision." Gov't's Aug. 2, 2018 Letter at 1.
In essence, Mr. Middleton has not presented sufficient information for the Court to evaluate his request and, accordingly, his application is denied.
SO ORDERED. Dated: October 24, 2018
Central Islip, New York
