REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 
OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 
This report and recommendation addresses a petition for revocation of the defendant’s 
supervised release. Dkt. 91 (sealed). 
PROCEDURAL HISTORY 
On July 14, 2022 , United States District Judge Amos L. Mazzant, III, sentenced defendant 
Keithon Leon Hankins to 71 months of imprisonment followed by four years of supervised release. 
Dkt. 79. Hankins’s current term of supervised release commenced September 6, 2024 . Dkt. 91 
(sealed). 
In February 2026, a probation officer petitioned the court for a warrant, alleging that Hankins 
had violated conditions of his supervised release. Id. The petition alleged that Hankins had violated 
conditions that required him to refrain from committing any federal, state, or local crime; to refrain 
from any unlawful use of a controlled substance; to not knowingly leave the federal district he is 
authorized to reside in without permission; to not communicate or interact with someone he knew 
engaged in criminal activity; and to participate in a program of testing and treatment for substance 
abuse. Id. In support of those allegations, the petition asserted that Hankins had committed a state 
offense, submitted urine samples that tested positive for marijuana, admitted that he associated 
with people engaged in criminal activity, and failed to report for a random drug test. Id. 
A final revocation hearing was held before me on May 22, 202 6. Hankins pleaded true to 
allegations one, two, four, and five . Minute Entry for May 22 , 202 6. He also consented to PageID #:

revocation of his supervised release and waived his right to object to my proposed findings and 
recommendations. Id.; Dkt. 101. The court then announced what its recommendation would be. 
RECOMMENDATION

arguments, the court recommends that: (1) allegation three in the petition for revocation of 
Hankins’s supervised release, Dkt. 91 (sealed), be dismissed; (2) Hankins’s supervised release be 
revoked based on allegations one, two, four, and five in the petition, id.; (3) Hankins be committed 
to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for a term of eight months, with no term
