CAUSE
Wescott is currently residing at the Las Vegas Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and has been at the facility since February of 2023. Wescott was released from the Bureau of Prisons with an immigration hold, due to his status as a Canadian citizen. Over the past several months Wescott has made attempts to secure a birth certificate and identification to allow him to work in the United States. Wescott secured the necessary documents to obtain work approximately one month ago.
Wescott has experience as a chef and recently was offered a position as an assistant cook at a casino in Las Vegas. Wescott has not started this job yet, thus he is unable to afford housing at this time. The undersigned officer requests an additional modification for 90 more days at the RRC, to allow Wescott to secure housing. Wescott has signed the probation form 49, waiver of hearing, which is attached for Your Honor's review.
