UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. JERAME WATKINS
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
JERAME WATKINS, ("Defendant") appeared for a hearing on November 15, 2019, in accordance with Rule 32.1 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure on the Petition for a Warrant for an Offender Under Supervision ("Petition").
Defendant was placed under oath and informed of his constitutional rights. It was previously determined that Defendant wished to be represented by an attorney and he qualified for appointed counsel. Attorney Gianna Maio with Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee was appointed to represent Defendant. It was also determined that Defendant had been provided with and reviewed with counsel a copy of the Petition.
The Government moved that Defendant be detained without bail pending his revocation hearing before U.S. District Judge Curtis L. Collier. Defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing.
Based upon the Petition and waiver of preliminary hearing, the Court finds there is probable cause to believe Defendant has committed violations of his conditions of supervised release as alleged in the Petition.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that:
(1) Defendant shall appear for a revocation hearing before U.S. District Judge Collier.
(2) The Government's motion that Defendant be DETAINED WITHOUT BAIL pending his revocation hearing before Judge Collier is GRANTED.
(3) The U.S. Marshal shall transport Defendant to a revocation hearing set before District Judge Collier at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.
SO ORDERED.
ENTER.
