REQUEST RELEASE FROM
RESIDENTIAL REENTRY CENTER
(RRC) PLACEMENT
Dear Judge Whaley: The above-referenced individual last appeared before Your Honor on April 4, 2013, for a supervised release violation hearing. At the time of the hearing, the Court made no findings as to the alleged violations and continued the matter until after Mr. Leblanc released from the residential reentry center (RRC). The Court may recall a concern regarding Mr. Leblanc's lack of compliance with supervised release regarding the use of alcohol and committing a new law violation, harassment. In response to this violation, the Court modified his conditions of supervision to include residing at the RRC for a period of no less than 30 days and up to 180 days. Mr. Leblanc began his placement at the RRC on April 5, 2013. Since that time, he has located an appropriate release address. The undersigned officer has verified with the apartment complex manager that he has been approved and signed a rental agreement. Mr. Leblanc is able to pay for his rent with his monthly disability check. Mr. Leblanc is participating in drug testing, with no indication of illicit drug use. It appears Mr. Leblanc is taking the necessary steps to ensure his reentry back into the community is successful. Therefore, the undersigned officer respectfully recommends that Mr. Leblanc be released from the RRC with all of the other conditions of supervised release to remain in effect. Should Your Honor require a different course of action, or require a court appearance by Mr. Leblanc, please advise the undersigned officer.
Respectfully submitted,
Scott M. Morse, Sr.
