ORDER ADOPTING THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S 
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 
 
The court referred a petition alleging violations of supervised release conditions to the 
Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate Judge, at Beaumont, Texas, for consideration 
pursuant to applicable laws and orders of this court. The court has re ceived and considered the 
Report of the United States Magistrate Judge filed pursuant to such order, along with the record, 
pleadings and all available evidence. 
At the close of the revocation hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Zack Hawthorn 
recommended: 
1. that the court find that the Defendant violated the third allegation in the petition that he 
failed to follow a standard condition of release; 
 
2. revoking the Defendant’s supervised release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3583; and 
 
3. the Defendant should be sentenced to a term of 13 months’ imprisonment, with no 
supervised release to follow . His term of imprisonment should be served at the Federal 
Correctional Institute in Bastrop, Texas, if the Bureau of Prisons can accommodate such 
request. 
 
At the close of the revocation hearing, the Defendant, defense counsel and counsel for 
the Government each signed a standard form waiving their right to object to the proposed findings 
and recommendations contained in the magistrate judge’s report, consent ing to revocation of PageID #:

supervised release and imposition of the sentence recommended. The Defendant also waived 
the right to be present with counsel and to speak at sentencing before the court imposes the 
recommended sentence. 
Accordingly, the findings of fact and conclusions of law of the magistrate judge are correct 
and the report of the magistrate judge is ADOPTED. It is therefore 
ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the petition is GRANTED and the Defendant ’s 
supervised release is REVOKED. 
Judgment and commitment will be entered separately, in accordance with the magistrate 
judge’s recommendations.
