RECOMMENDATION TERMINATING
SUPERVISED RELEASE PRIOR TO EXPIRATION DATE
LEGAL HISTORY:
On October 4, 2004, the above-named supervised releasee was placed on supervised release for a period of five years, which commenced on October 26, 2007. Special conditions included: Outpatient substance abuse treatment; Drug and alcohol testing; Abstain from using illicit drugs and abusing alcohol and prescription medications; Participate in a residential drug treatment program if deemed necessary by the Probation Officer; pay part or all of the costs of treating drug and/or alcohol dependency; and Pay the special assessment in accordance with the judgment order. On July 24, 2009, a transfer of jurisdiction from the Central District of California to the Eastern District of California was approved.
On August 25, 2011, the United States Attorney's Office in the Central District of California reviewed this case for a possible early termination. Assistant United States Attorney Amanda Liskamm advised their office has no objection to an early termination of Mr. Joost's supervised release. SUMMARY OF COMPLIANCE:
Mr. Joost has complied with all conditions and special conditions of supervised release, and has not been involved in any further criminal activities. Because of his overall compliance, on July 26, 2011, he was transferred to the Low Intensity Supervision caseload. It is the opinion of the probation officer that Mr. Joost has derived maximum benefit from supervision and is not in need of continued supervision. RECOMMENDATION:
It is, therefore, respectfully recommended that Mr. Joost be terminated early from his term of supervised release.
