UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. (1) SIDNEY DAVID TAYLOR


ORDER ACCEPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE '

ALAN D ALBRIGHT UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

Before the court is the above styled and numbered cause. On January 23, 2024 the United States Probation Office filed a Petition For Warrant or Summons For Offender Under Supervision for Defendant (1) SIDNEY DAVID TAYLOR, which alleged that Taylor violated a condition of his supervised release and recommended that Taylor 's supervised release be revoked (Clerk's Document No. 10). A warrant issued and Taylor was arrested. On February 23, 2024, Taylor appeared before a United States Magistrate Judge, was ordered detained, and a revocation of supervised release hearing was set.

Taylor appeared before the magistrate judge on March 19, 2024, waived his right to a preliminary hearing and to be present before the United States District Judge at the time of modification of sentence, and consented to allocution before the magistrate judge. Following the hearing, the magistrate judge signed his report and recommendation on March 20, 2024, which provides that having carefully considered all of the arguments and evidence presented by the Government and Defendant, based on the original offense and the intervening conduct of Taylor, the magistrate judge recommends that this court revoke Taylor supervised release and that Taylor be sentenced to imprisonment for TWELVE (12) MONTHS AND ONE (1) DAY, with no term supervised release to follow the term of imprisonment (Clerk's Document No. 13).

A party may serve and file specific, written objections to the proposed findings and recommendations of a magistrate judge within fourteen days after being served with a copy of the report and recommendation, and thereby secure a de novo review by the district court. See 28 U.S.C.§ 636(b); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(b). A party's failure to timely file written objections to the proposed findings, conclusions, and recommendation in a report and recommendation bars that party, except upon grounds of plain error, from attacking on appeal the unobjected-to proposed factual findings and legal conclusions accepted by the district court. Douglass v. United Services Auto Ass 'n, 79 F.3d1415 (5th Cir. 1996) (en bane). The parties in this cause were properly notified of the consequences of a failure to file objections.

On March 19, 2024, following the hearing on the motion to revoke supervised release, all parties signed a Waiver Of Fourteen Day Rule For Filing Objections To Report and Recommendation OfUnited States Magistrate Judge (Clerk's Document No. 8). The court, having reviewed the entire record and finding no plain error, accepts and adopts the report and recommendation filed in this cause.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge filed in this cause (Clerk's Document No. 13) is hereby ACCEPTED AND ADOPTED by this court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant (1) SIDNEY DAVID TAYLOR's term of supervised release is hereby REVOKED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant (1) SIDNEY DAVID TAYLOR be imprisoned for TWELVE (12) MONTHS AND ONE (1) DAY with no term of supervised release. The Defendant shall receive credit for time served since his arrest.
