UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. JOSEPH ANTOINE LEE JR.
ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE'S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
The court referred a petition alleging violations of supervised release conditions to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this court. The court has received and considered the Report of the United States Magistrate Judge filed pursuant to such order, along with the record, pleadings and all available evidence. The parties have not filed objections to the report, and waived the fourteen-day objection period on the record at the hearing conducted on January 20, 2017.
At the close of the revocation hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Zack Hawthorn recommended: 1. that the court find that the Defendant violated the first allegation in the petition that he failed to follow a standard condition of release; 2. that the Defendant's supervised release should be revoked pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3583; and 3. the Defendant should be sentenced to a term of 6 months' imprisonment, with no supervised release to follow.
Neither party has filed objections to Judge Hawthorn's Report and Recommendation. Accordingly, the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct and the report of the magistrate judge is ADOPTED. It is therefore
ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the petition is GRANTED and Joseph Antoine Lee Jr.'s supervised release is REVOKED.
Judgment and commitment will be entered separately, in accordance with the magistrate judge's recommendations.
SIGNED this the 24 day of January, 2017.
