ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Honorable Richard A. Jones United States District Judge
On March 23, 2023, the Court issued an Arrest Warrant as to Matthew CHRISTOPHER after he failed to appear for a bond revocation hearing. (Dkt. 33-34.)
On April 21, 2023, CHRISTOPHER failed to appear for his scheduled DREAM status hearing. (Dkt. 37.)
On May 19, 2023, CHRISTOPHER failed to appear for his scheduled DREAM status hearing. (Dkt. 39.)
On June 23, 2023, CHRISTOPHER failed to appear for his scheduled DREAM status hearing.
On July 28, 2023, CHRISTOPHER failed to appear for his scheduled DREAM status hearing.
When CHRISTOPHER entered DREAM, he acknowledged in his DREAM Contract that, “at a minimum, you will be required to appear before the DREAM Judicial Officer at least once a month to evaluate your progress.” (Dkt. 11 at 4.) This Contract further provides that, “Cause for involuntary termination from the DREAM program includes, but is not limited to, the commission of new law violations, repeated drug use, chronic pattern of refusal to cooperate with a treatment or other program provider, repeated refusals to cooperate with the DREAM program's imposed sanctions or to participate in the DREAM program in a meaningful manner.” (Id. at 9.)
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that CHRISTOPHER appear for the scheduled DREAM status hearing, to be held via Zoom, on August 25, 2023, and that he SHOW CAUSE as to why he should not be terminated from DREAM.
Should CHRISTOPHER fail to appear again, he will be terminated from DREAM.
