NO. 5: 99-CR-94 (WDO), Re: Violation of Supervised Release.
June 29, 2007
ORDER
CURTIS DOWL, a SUPERVISED RELEASEE in the above-styled criminal proceeding, this day appeared before the undersigned for an INITIAL APPEARANCE HEARING under provisions of Rule 32.1 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, waiving legal representation. The government was represented by Assistant U. S. Attorney Michael T. Solis. The SUPERVISED RELEASEE was advised of the nature of the proceedings against him and of his legal and constitutional rights; he 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 provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3143(a), the court finds that release from custody at this time is inappropriate in this case. It is alleged in the PETITION FOR ACTION ON SUPERVISED RELEASE that the SUPERVISED RELEASEE violated conditions of supervision by using illegal drugs, by failing to submit to drug testing, by failing to participate in drug treatment and counseling as directed, and by failing to remit restitution installment payments in April and May, 2007. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED AND DIRECTED that he be DETAINED by the United States Marshal until further order of the court.
While held in custody, said SUPERVISED RELEASEE 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 he is confined shall deliver him to the United States Marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection with this court proceeding. Said SUPERVISED RELEASEE shall appear before the Honorable Wilbur D. Owens, Jr. district judge, for a FINAL HEARING as directed by Judge Owens. The Clerk of Court is directed to forward this order and the within file to Judge Owens for the scheduling of said FINAL HEARING at the earliest possible time.
SO ORDERED AND DIRECTED.
