THE HONORABLE JAMES A. GOEKE, U.S. MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
PETITION FOR WARRANT OR SUMMONS FOR OFFENDER UNDER SUPERVISION
PETITIONING THE COURT
To issue a warrant.
On February 9, 2023, the conditions of supervision were reviewed with Mr. Leland. He signed his judgment acknowledging an understanding of his conditions.
The probation officer believes that the offender has violated the following condition(s) of supervision:
Violation Number
Nature of Noncompliance
1
Special Condition #6 : You must reside in a residential reentry center (RRC) for a period of up to 180 days, or an approved clean and sober residence, at the direction fo the supervising officer. Your participation in the programs offered by the RRC is limited to employment, education, treatment, and religious services at the direction fo the supervising officer. You must abide by the rules and requirements of the facility/residence. Supporting Evidence : John Leland allegedly violated the terms of his supervised release by being terminated from the RRC, on or about November 13, 2023. John Leland is a participant of the Sobriety Treatment and Education Program (STEP). During the August 17, 2023, STEP session, he was sanctioned and required to enter into a RRC. On August 28, 2023, placement with the RRC was secured and Mr. Leland commenced residing there.
On November 9, 2023, RRC staff reported concerns surrounding numerous noncompliance issues with Mr. Leland, to include gambling, deviating, driving an unauthorized vehicle and receiving an unauthorized ride. Mr. Leland was at risk for being terminated from the program. The concerns were addressed with him and he indicated his intension to resume compliance. However, that same day, his noncompliance with the RRC continued, to include returning to the facility more than 30 minutes late. As a result, the RRC terminated his placement in November 13, 2023.
The U.S. Probation Office respectfully recommends the Court issue a warrant requiring the offender to appear to answer to the allegation(s) contained in this petition.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
