RE: Jennelle Amala Hibbert
Dkt# 12-00448-001
Notice of Non-Complaince
Dear Judge Cecchi:
On November 30, 2010, Jennelle Hibbert was sentenced by Honorable Nicolas G. Garaufis in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York to 12 months and one day to be followed by three years supervised release for Importation of Cocaine. Hibbert was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment, and abide by the special conditions of drug testing and submit to DNA testing. Her term of supervised release commenced, in this District, on January 24,2012, upon her release from Bureau of Prisons. On July 18,2012, Your Honor accepted jurisdiction of the probationer.
As the enclosed petition attests, on October 26,2012, Hibbert tested positive for the use of marijuana. Upon being confronted, she admitted to drug use and signed Admission of Drug Use Form.
The Probation Office does not believe this rises to the need of a court appearance at this time. Rather, we will increase drug testing and monitor the offender's compliance with mental health and substance abuse treatment scheduled to commence on December 5,2012 . If we find that this drug use is ongoing, we will notify Your Honor and recommend an alternate course of action.
Should the Court agree with our recommendation, we respectfully request that Your Honor review the enclosed forms and sign the Form 12A, which will also serve as an official reprimand from the Court. If Your Honor wishes to discuss this matter, please contact the undersigned probation officer at (973) 445-8519.
Respectfully submitted,
WILFREDO TORRES, Chief
U.S. Probation Officer
