NONCOMPLIANCE SUMMARY
The offender has not complied with the following condition(s) of supervision:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ¦Violation Number ¦Nature of Noncompliance ¦ +------------------+----------------------------------------------------------¦ ¦ ¦"The defendant shall pay a fine of $2,000.00. In the event¦ ¦ ¦the fine is not paid prior to the commencement of ¦ ¦ ¦supervision, the defendant shall satisfy the amount due in¦ ¦ ¦monthly installments of no less than $50.00, to commence ¦ ¦ ¦30 days after release from confinement." ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦On September 12, 2011, the offender was released from the ¦ ¦ ¦custody to a detainer placed by Immigration and Customs ¦ ¦ ¦Enforcement (ICE), He remained in their custody until they¦ ¦ ¦released him to the community on March 15, 2012, He was ¦ ¦ ¦residing in the District of New Jersey from March until ¦ ¦ ¦July 2012, at which time he was unable to remain at the ¦ ¦ ¦residence in New Jersey due to pending eviction for ¦ ¦ ¦non-payment of rent. On July 31, 2012, he was granted ¦ ¦ ¦permission to stay temporarily with his brother. Ismet ¦ ¦ ¦Muratovic, and his family at his home located at 750 ¦ ¦ ¦Pelham Parkway South, Apartment 4V, Bronx, New York, while¦ ¦ ¦attempting to gain some stability as to a more permanent ¦ ¦1 ¦residence. We are in the process of requesting a short ¦ ¦ ¦term period of courtesy supervision from the Eastern ¦ ¦ ¦District of New York. ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦The undersigned has been actively working with this ¦ ¦ ¦offender to provide additional stability and compliance ¦ ¦ ¦with his conditions of supervision. On July 23, 2012, we ¦ ¦ ¦petitioned the Court to add a special condition for mental¦ ¦ ¦health treatment, which was signed into effect by the ¦ ¦ ¦Court on July 30, 2012. This was to allow the offender to ¦ ¦ ¦engage in therapeutic counseling services for an existing ¦ ¦ ¦bipolar diagnosis, and to obtain medication to stabilize ¦ ¦ ¦his condition. We have also addressed his need to obtain ¦ ¦ ¦identity documents, such as an Alien Registration ¦ ¦ ¦Certificate with ICE and a driver's license, which he ¦ ¦ ¦claims were lost after said documents were seized from his¦ ¦ ¦possession when he was arrested. Without such documents, ¦ ¦ ¦and until stabilized on medication for the aforementioned ¦ ¦ ¦bipolar disorder, the offender has been unable to ¦ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ¦¦secure employment, which would allow him to pay monthly on his fine. Once he¦ ¦¦obtains these documents and stabilizes on medication, which we anticipate ¦ ¦¦could take an additional 2 to 3 months, we would ask that his requirement to¦ ¦¦pay on his fine be reduced to a "good faith payment" of $10 per month, and ¦ ¦¦that no adverse action be taken at this time due to non-payment of the fine ¦ ¦¦to date. The offender has agreed to make a $10 fine payment forthwith, with ¦ ¦¦some minimal financial assistance from his brother, and thereafter, agrees ¦ ¦¦to make a $10 payment each month until his ability to pay increases. ¦ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ U.S. Probation Officer Action: The undersigned has been actively working with this offender to provide additional stability and compliance with his conditions of supervision. The probation officer will monitor the offender's ability to pay and shall submit an updated recommendation to the Court, once the offender has an increase in his ability to pay his fine. As such, we respectfully request that no adverse action be taken at this time.
Respectfully submitted.
