Opinion
Case No. 3:12-PO-194
02-06-2013
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL OWENSBY, Defendant.
Magistrate Judge Michael J. Newman
ORDER MODIFYING BOND CONDITIONS
The Court reviewed the bond violation report dated January 31, 2013 in which the Pretrial Services Officer states Defendant provided positive urinalysis samples for cocaine on two occasions, and recommends Defendant be ordered to "participate in a program of inpatient or outpatient substance abuse counseling if directed by the Pretrial Services Office."
On February 6, 2013, the Court held an in-chambers conference, on the record, with counsel for both sides. There being no objection to the recommendation by the Pretrial Services Officer and Defendant, through counsel, having waived a hearing -- during which he could have admitted or denied the two bond violations at issue -- the Court ADOPTS the recommendation of Pretrial Services and MODIFIES Defendant's bond to include the requirement of the substance abuse counseling referenced above. All other bond conditions remain in full force and effect.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
