RE: PROBATION VIOLATIONS

CLAUDE HICKS JR., Magistrate Judge

ORDER

TAMEEKA CHERISE CLARK, a Probationer in the above-styled criminal proceeding, this day appeared before the undersigned for a hearing under provisions of Rule 32.1 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. She was advised of the nature of the proceedings against her and of her legal and constitutional rights. With the assistance of legal counsel, said Probationer waived a preliminary hearing under Rule 32.1(b)(1) of the Rules and agreed that a FINAL hearing could be scheduled under Rule 32.1(b)(2).

Upon consideration of the government's request for the detention of the Probationer pending her final revocation hearing, and in light of the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a), the court finds that release from custody at this time is inappropriate in this case. Grounds for revocation set forth in the PETITION FOR ACTION ON PROBATION include allegations that the Probationer possessed and used marijuana on numerous occasions and failed to participate as directed in an approved substance abuse treatment program, missing more than 11 scheduled meetings at one treatment program and being discharged from another program.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED AND DIRECTED that TAMEEKA CHERISE CLARK be DETAINED by the United States Marshal until further order of the court. While held in custody, said Probationer shall be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with defense counsel. On order of a court of the United States or on request of an attorney for the Government, the person in charge of the corrections facility wherein she is confined shall deliver her to the United States Marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection with this court proceeding. Said Probationer shall appear before the Honorable C. Ashley Royal, district judge, for a FINAL HEARING as directed by Judge Royal. The Clerk of Court is directed to forward this order and the within file to Judge Royal for the scheduling of said FINAL HEARING at the earliest possible time.

SO ORDERED AND DIRECTED.
