REPORT ON OFFENDER UNDER SUPERVISION
Honorable Susan Hightower United States Magistrate Judge
PREVIOUS COURT ACTION
On May 29, 2020, a Probation Form 12B was filed with the Court to establish monthly restitution payments. The officer recommended that the defendant make restitution payments in the amount of no less than $200 per month. On June 1, 2020, the Court concurred with officer's recommendation.
NONCOMPLIANCE SUMMARY
Violation of Mandatory Condition No. 3: “The defendant shall refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance. The defendant shall submit to one drug test within 15 days of release on probation or supervised release and at least two periodic drug tests thereafter (as determined by the court), but the condition stated in this paragraph may be ameliorated or suspended by the court if the defendant's presentence report or other reliable sentencing information indicates low risk of future substance abuse by the defendant.”
Nature of Non-compliance: On April 5, 2022, the offender submitted a positive urinalysis for methamphetamines.
U.S. Probation Officer Action: The officer made contact with Bugen to discuss the positive methamphetamines result. The offender verbally admitted to the use of methamphetamines. It is respectfully recommended that no Court action be taken at this time and the offender be allowed to participate in outpatient substance abuse treatment. The offender will be required to submit frequent urinalysis to monitor for further drug usage.
Accordingly, the Court reserves the right to revisit this allegation in the future. In addition, should Bugen incur any further violations, the Court will be immediately notified.
THE COURT ORDERS:
[ ] No Action
[ ] Submit a Request for Modifying the Conditions or Term of Supervision
[ ] Submit a Request for Warrant or Summons
[ ] Other
