UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA 
 
 
 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
 
 
v. 
 
SAINT VINCENT HARRIS 
 
Defendant. 
 
 
 
 
Criminal Action No. 18-238 
(EGS) 
 
 
ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 
 
On October 22, 2019, the Court sentenced Mr. Harris to five 
years of incarceration followed by three years of supervised 
release based on his plea of guilty to Using, Carrying, and 
Possessing a Firearm During a Drug Trafficking Offense in violation 
of 18 USC § 924(c)(1)(A)(i). See ECF No. 58.  
On September 14, 2023, the Probation Office filed a petition 
alleging that Mr. Harris failed to notify his probation officer of 
a change in address, used and possessed THC, failed to enroll in 
a vocational services program, failed to attend substance abuse 
treatment, and failed to follow instructions given by the probation 
office. See ECF No. 92. The Court issued a supervised release 
warrant on September 20, 2023, and the warrant was executed on 
September 27, 2024. See ECF No. 93, 94. On October 2, 2024, 
Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui released Mr. Harris to high intensity

supervision and home detention. See Minute Entry (Oct. 2, 2024); 
Minute Order (Oct. 2, 2024). On March 14, 2025, this Court referred 
the case to Magistrate Judge Faruqui for a report and 
recommendation on Mr. Harris’ alleged violations. See Minute Entry 
(Mar. 14, 2025). 
 Magistrate Judge Faruqui held multiple status hearings 
throughout 2025, and a final hearing on violation on January 21, 
2026. See generally Dkt. for Criminal Case No. 18-238. At that 
hearing, Mr. Harris admitted the pending violation, and the 
government and the Probation Office requested that Mr. Harris 
receive a time-served sentence of imprisonment and no additional 
period of supervision. See ECF No. 98 at 3. As stated in the Report 
and Recommendation, “[t]he government acknowledged that Mr. Harris 
had made progress in addressing his substance abuse issues. Mr. 
Harris joined in the requested sentence.” Id. at 3. 
On February 27, 2026, Magistrate Judge Faruqui issued a Report 
and Recommendation, and based on the joint recommendation of the 
parties and the Probation Office, recommended “a finding that Mr. 
Harris violated his conditions of release, sentence him to a period 
of time served, and not impose any further period of supervision.” 
See ECF No. 98 at 3. Since both parties and the Probation Office 
made this joint recommendation, the Court need not wait 14 days for 
any written objection by the parties. See LCrR 59.1(b).

served sentence of imprisonment and no additional period of 
supervision.
