PETITIONING THE COURT
[X] To modify the conditions of supervision as follows:
1. Residential Reentry Center - You must reside in a residential reentry center for a term of up to 90 days. You must follow the rules and regulations of the center.
CAUSE
On November 1, 2004, Fred Walker was sentenced by the Honorable Philip M. Pro to a term of life imprisonment for the offenses of Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance, Carrying a Firearm in Relation to a Drug Trafficking Crime, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm. At time of sentencing, Walker was designated as a career offender. Due to the First Step Act, on February 25, 2020, your Honor reduced Walker's sentence to 180 months custody, followed by eight (8) years of supervised release. On June 30, 2021, your Honor revoked Walker's supervised release and imposed a term of 27 months imprisonment, consecutive to Nevada State Court case # C-21-355062-1, followed by 33 months supervised release also consecutive to Nevada State Court case # C-21-355062-1. Walker is projected to be released from custody on February 20, 2024.
At this time, Walker does not have a viable residence in the District of Nevada. As such, the undersigned officer respectfully requests that Walker's conditions be modified to include up to 90 days of public law placement at the Residential Reentry Center (RRC). This placement will afford Walker the opportunity to obtain suitable housing.
Walker is in agreement with this modification as evidenced by his signature on the attached Waiver of Hearing to Modify Conditions of Supervised Release (Prob 49). Additionally, the undersigned verified with the RRC that they will accept Walker upon his release from custody. Should the Court have any questions or need further information, the probation office will be available at the Court's discretion.
Respectfully submitted, Wendy B. Beckner
Joy Gabonia Supervisory United States Probation Officer
