UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. NICHOLAS MYERS
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
NICHOLAS MYERS ("Defendant") appeared for a hearing on November 16, 2017, in accordance with Rules 5 and 32.1 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure on the Petition for a Warrant or Summons for an Offender Under Supervision ("Petition").
Defendant was placed under oath and informed of his constitutional rights. It was determined that Defendant wished to be represented by an attorney and he qualified for appointed counsel. Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee was appointed to represent Defendant. It was also determined that Defendant had been provided with and reviewed with counsel a copy of the Petition.
The Government moved that Defendant be detained without bail pending his revocation hearing before U.S. District Judge Mattice. Defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing.
Based upon the Petition and waiver of preliminary hearing, the Court finds there is probable cause to believe Defendant has committed violations of his condition of supervised release as alleged in the Petition.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
(1) Counsel for Defendant and the Government shall confer and make best efforts to submit to U.S. District Judge Mattice a proposed Agreed Order with respect to an appropriate disposition of the Petition for Warrant for Offender Under Supervision.
(2) In the event counsel are unable to reach agreement with respect to an appropriate disposition of the Petition for Warrant for Offender Under Supervision, they shall request a hearing before U.S. District Judge Mattice.
(3) The Government's motion that Defendant be DETAINED WITHOUT BAIL pending further order from this Court is GRANTED.
SO ORDERED.
ENTER.
