UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. RICARDO VALDEZ(6)
MEMORANDUM ADOPTING AMENDED REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Came on for consideration the above-referenced criminal action, this court having heretofore referred the request for the revocation of Defendant's supervised release to the United States Magistrate Judge for proper consideration. The court has received the Amended Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to its order. Defendant having waived allocution before this court as well as his right to object to the report of the Magistrate Judge, the court is of the opinion that the findings and conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct.
It is therefore, ORDERED that the Amended Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge is ADOPTED as the opinion of the court.
It is further ORDERED that Defendant's supervised release is hereby REVOKED.
It is further ORDERED that Defendant be committed to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons for a term of imprisonment of fourteen (14) months with forty-two (42) months of supervised release to follow. Within 72 hours of release from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons, you must report in person to the probation office in the federal judicial district where you are authorized to reside. While on supervised release, you must not commit another federal, state, or local crime. You must not unlawfully possess a controlled substance. You must refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance. You must submit to one drug test within 15 days of release from imprisonment and at least two periodic drug tests thereafter, as determined by the Court. You must comply with the standard conditions that have been adopted by the Court. Additionally, the Court finds the special conditions originally imposed by the Court are still relevant and are reimposed as follows: (1) You must provide the probation officer with access to any requested financial information for purposes of monitoring efforts at maintaining lawful employment; and (2) You must participate in a program of testing and treatment for drug abuse, and follow the rules and regulations of that program until discharged. The probation officer, in consultation with the treatment provider, will supervise your participation in the program. You must pay any cost associated with treatment and testing
The Court recommends that Defendant be housed in the North Texas area, if appropriate.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
SIGNED this 19th day of March, 2018.
