UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PLAINTIFF v. WILLIE STOKES DEFENDANT

David L. Bunning United States District Judge

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

********************

This matter is before the Court upon the Report and Recommendation ("R&R") of the United States Magistrate Judge, wherein she recommends that the Court revoke Defendant's supervised release and impose a sentence of fourteen (14) months incarceration, with a term of supervised release to follow that would terminate on December 18, 2021. (Doc. # 434). During the final revocation hearing conducted by Magistrate Judge Candace J. Smith on April 13, 2015, Defendant admitted to violating the terms of his supervised release, as set forth in the March 20, 2015 Violation Report of U.S. Probation Officer Stacey M. Suter. (Doc. # 429).

Defendant having filed a notice with the Court, thereby waiving his right to allocution and stating that he has no objections to the R&R (Doc. # 435), the R&R is ripe for the Court's consideration. Having reviewed the R&R, and the Court concluding that the R&R is sound in all respects, including the recommended sentence and the basis for said recommendation, and the Court being otherwise sufficiently advised,

IT IS ORDERED as follows:

(1) The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (Doc. # 434) is hereby ADOPTED as the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the Court;

(2) Defendant is found to have VIOLATED the terms of his supervised release;

(3) Defendant's supervised release is hereby REVOKED;

(4) Defendant is sentenced to the CUSTODY of the Attorney General for a term of FOURTEEN (14) MONTHS, with credit given for time served since his detention on the charged violations, and with a term of supervised release to follow that would terminate on December 18, 2021, during which time Defendant shall remain subject to the same conditions previously imposed, including substance abuse and mental health treatment, and the additional condition that Defendant be placed in an inpatient treatment program as directed by the Probation Office to begin immediately upon his release from imprisonment; and

(5) A Judgment shall be entered contemporaneously herewith.

This 1st day of June, 2015.

David L. Bunning

United States District Judge
