THE HONORABLE MARY L. COOPER UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE, (REASSIGNED TO THE HONORABLE ANNE E. THOMPSON ON 11/19/2019)

REPORT ON INDIVIDUAL UNDER SUPERVISION

NONCOMPLIANCE SUMMARY

The individual under supervision has not complied with the following condition(s) of supervision:

Violation Number

Nature of Noncompliance

1

Mr. Ayres has violated the special supervision condition which states 'You must refrain from the illegal possession and use of drugs, including prescription medication not prescribed in your name, and must submit to urinalysis or other forms of testing to ensure compliance. It is further ordered that you must submit to evaluation and treatment, on an outpatient or inpatient basis, as approved by the U.S. Probation Office. You must abide by the rules of any program and must remain in treatment until satisfactorily discharged by the Court. You must alert nil medical professionals of any prior substance abuse history, including any prior history of prescription drug abuse. The U.S. Probation Office will supervise your compliance with this condition.'

Mr. Ayres tested positive for cocaine on June 16,2023. At that time, he admitted use, signed the Admission of Use form, and stated that he was stressed upon his release from custody. Mr. Ayres was subject to increased testing after this positive test, and subsequent tests after that were negative for all illicit substances,

Mr. Ayres tested positive again for cocaine on December 19, 2023, but denied use. He stated that he has not used any drugs since his initial positive back in June. The urine sample was sent to the laboratory for confirmation, and the results were confirmed positive for benzoylecgonine, which is the major metabolite of cocaine, which is excreted in the user's urine after being processed in the liver,

U.S. Probation Officer Action:

The undersigned officer noted the possible negative outcomes of not adhering to the conditions, including possible revocation of supervised release. Mr. Ayres was reminded that three positives in a year could result in mandatory revocation, and this is his second positive test. The undersigned officer will refer Mr. Ayres for a substance abuse assessment, as Mr. Ayres has a history of cocaine use, and with these two positives, it appears Mr. Ayres may have substance use issues that need to be addressed.

At this juncture, it is respectfully requested that no action be taken by the Court, as the undersigned officer would like Mr. Ayres to be assessed for substance abuse treatment needs, The undersigned officer will update the court as needed regarding Mr. Ayres' recommendation for treatment and requests that this document serve as an official judicial reprimand. In the interim, Mr. Ayres will continue to be subjected to increased testing.

Respectfully submitted, SUSAN M. SMALLEY, Chief U.S. Probation Officer
