Opinion
CRIMINAL NO. 2007-58.
June 15, 2009
Ishmael A. Meyers, Jr., AUSA, St. Thomas, USVI, For the Government. Gary Garten, Esquire, St. Thomas, USVI, For the Defendant.
ORDER
This matter came before the Court on May 28, 2009, on the U.S. Probation Office's petition for a hearing regarding a violation of supervised release, which was submitted to the Court on March 30, 2009. The defendant appeared in person and with his counsel, Gary Garten, Esquire. The government was represented by Assistant United States Attorney Ishmael A. Meyers, Jr.
The petition alleges that the defendant made threats to his former employer. The defendant denied making threats, but admitted having a telephonic discussion with his former employer where he lost his temper.
The Court, having considered the premises, finds that the defendant did not violate the conditions of supervised release. The Court, however, finds that the defendant is in need of anger management counseling.
IT IS THEREFORE,
ORDERED that the defendant shall continue his term of supervised release; and it is further
ORDERED that the defendant's conditions of supervised release are MODIFIED to include inpatient and/or outpatient anger management counseling, as deemed appropriate by the U.S. Probation Office.
