Jordan Lee Kennedy
Date of Original Sentence: April 7, 2021
REQUEST FOR MODIFYING THE CONDITIONS OR TERM OF SUPERVISION WITH CONSENT OF THE OFFENDER (PROBATION FORM 49, WAIVER OF HEARING IS ATTACHED)
The Honorable Thomas O. Rice, U.S. District Judge
PETITIONING THE COURT
To modify the conditions of supervision as follows:
5 You must complete a mental health evaluation and follow any treatment recommendations of the evaluating professional which do not require forced or psychotropic medication and/or inpatient confinement, absent further order of the court. You must allow reciprocal release of information between the supervising officer and treatment provider. You must contribute to the cost of treatment according to your ability to pay.
CAUSE
Jordan Kennedy is currently set to appear before Your Honor for a supervised release revocation hearing on August 29, 2024. The current violations before the Court include driving under the influence, being out of the district without permission, consumption of alcohol, cocaine use, and contact with a known felon.
Mr. Kennedy has indicated a need for mental health counseling. He is already scheduled for a mental health assessment with Pioneer Human Services (PHS), but may need to reschedule if it is not covered by his insurance. Mr. Kennedy is in agreement to having the conditions of his supervised release modified, to include a requirement to complete a mental health evaluation and engage in mental health treatment. He has signed the attached waiver of hearing to modify his conditions of supervision.
It should be noted that another petition and violation report alleging additional violations will be forthcoming.
The purpose of this request for modifying the conditions of supervised release is not to adjudicate any of the violations, but rather to help expedite mental health services.
Therefore, it is respectfully recommended that Jordan Kennedy's conditions of supervised release be modified to include the above noted special condition for mental health services.
