REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This report and recommendation addresses a petition for revocation of the defendant’s
supervised release. Dkt. 6 (sealed).
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
On April 23, 2013, defendant Stacey Allen Sims was sentenced to 138 months of imprisonment
followed by three years of supervised release. United States v. Sims, No. 3:11-cr-00250-M (N.D.
Tex. Apr. 23, 2013), Dkt. 1429. Sims’s term of supervised release commenced on December 12,
2022. Dkt. 6 at 1.
In July 2026, a probation officer petitioned the court for a warrant, alleging that Sims had
violated three conditions of his supervised release. Id. Specifically, the petition alleged that Sims
had violated conditions that required him to: (1) not commit another federal, state, or local crime;
(2) not unlawfully possess a controlled substance; and (3) refrain from excessive use of alcohol. Id.
at 1–3. In support of those allegations, the petition asserted that Sims has been charged with
evading arrest and possession of a controlled substance. Id. at 1–2.
A final revocation hearing was held before me on July 27, 2026. The government moved to
dismiss allegation one. Minute Entry for July 27, 2026. Sims pleaded true to the three remaining
allegations. Id. He also consented to revocation of his supervised release and waived his right to
object to my proposed findings and recommendations. Id.; Dkt. 16. The government requested a
sentence of 24 months of imprisonment, with no term of supervised release to follow, which is
within the federal sentencing policy statements; the defendant agreed.

be imprisoned for a term of 24 months, to run consecutively to any other term of imprisonment.
