UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. JOSEPH G. HARDIN
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
SUSAN K. LEE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
JOSEPH G. HARDIN, (“Defendant”) appeared for a hearing on June 24, 2022, in accordance with Rules 5 and 32.1 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure on the Petition and Order for a Warrant for an Offender Under Supervision (“Petition”) in the above matter.
Defendant was placed under oath and informed of his constitutional rights. It was determined that Defendant wished to be represented by an attorney and he qualified for appointed counsel. Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee was appointed to represent Defendant. It was also determined that Defendant had been provided with and reviewed with counsel a copy of the Petition.
The Government moved that Defendant be detained without bail pending his revocation hearing before U.S. District Judge Curtis L. Collier. Defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing.
Based upon the Petition and waiver of preliminary hearing, the Court finds there is probable cause to believe Defendant has committed violations of his conditions of supervised release as alleged in the Petition.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
(1) Defendant shall appear for a revocation hearing before U.S. District Judge Collier.
(2) The Government's motion that Defendant be DETAINED WITHOUT BAIL pending his revocation hearing before Judge Collier is GRANTED.
(3) The U.S. Marshal shall transport Defendant to an in-person revocation hearing before District Judge Collier at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 29, 2022.
SO ORDERED.
