Pursuant to the Compassionate Release Order issued on September 4, 2020
(ECF No. 657), Roger Belanger’s previously imposed sentence of imprisonment (ECF

approved by the court, (2) the development of an appropriate supervision plan
approved by the court, and (3) the previously imposed stringent conditions of

On September 22, 2020, I received the U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services’
proposed release plan. On September 25, 2020, I held a telephonic conference with
counsel and Probation Officer Mitchell Oswald to discuss the conditions under which
Belanger should be released from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons. After review
of the proposed plan, and for the reasons stated on the record of the telephonic
conference it is ORDERED that:
1. 	Roger Belanger’s sentence of imprisonment is reduced to time served.
