U.S. Probation Officer Action:
The probation office verbally reprimanded Cartagena-Rodriguez and utilized STARR skills for intervention purposes. We have increased our supervision efforts with him. To date, all urine tests have yielded negative results. Cartagena-Rodriguez remains gainfully employed and is enrolled for the Spring 2023 semester at Passaic County Community College. Our office recommends withholding Court action at this time. We will keep the Court apprised of any additional instances of noncompliance
