United States of America,, Plaintiff, v. Latysha D. Temple, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM & ORDER
John W. Lungstrum United States District Judge
Latysha D. Temple has filed a motion for early termination of her supervision. The government does not oppose the motion and the probation office fully supports Ms. Temple's request for early termination. The motion is granted.
A district court has authority to “terminate a term of supervised release and discharge the defendant released at any time after the expiration of one year of supervised release, ” so long as it considers the factors in § 3553(a) and the release is in the “interest of justice.” 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(1); United States v. Begay, 631 F.3d 1168, 1171-72 (10th Cir. 2011). Ms. Temple has completed more than 4 years of her five-year term of supervision. She has been compliant with all conditions and, as a result, presently meets with her probation officer approximately 4 times per year. Based on the support of the probation office (the most familiar with Ms. Temple's circumstances and conduct since her release and in the best position to assess the need for continuing supervision) and the government's non-opposition to the motion, the court is persuaded that termination of supervised release is warranted here.
In short, the court concludes that termination of Ms. Temple's supervision is warranted in light of the factors in § 3553(a) and is in the interest of justice. Accordingly, the court grants the motion, and defendant's term of supervised release is hereby terminated.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED BY THE COURT THAT Ms. Temple's motion for early termination of supervised release (doc. 1978) is granted and defendant's term of supervised release is hereby terminated.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
