DIRK DEWAYNE BULLOCK (21) 	§
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
OF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Now before the court is the request for revocation of Defendant Dirk Dewayne Bullock’s
(“Defendant”) supervised release. After the District Judge referred the matter to this court for a
report and recommendation, the court conducted a hearing on December 16, 2025, to determine
whether Defendant violated his supervised release. Defendant was represented by Brian O’Shea.
The Government was represented by William Tatum.
Defendant was sentenced on April 16, 2025, before The Honorable Robert W. Schroeder
III of the Eastern District of Texas after pleading guilty to the offense of Conspiracy To Possess
with Intent to Manufacture and Distribute Methamphetamine, a Class C felony. This offense
carried a statutory maximum imprisonment term of 20 years. The guideline imprisonment range,
based on a total offense level of 19 and a criminal history category of III, was 37 to 46 months.
Defendant was subsequently sentenced to time served, followed by a 3-year term of supervised
release subject to the standard conditions of release, plus special conditions to include financial
disclosure and substance abuse testing and treatment. On April 16, 2025, Defendant completed
his period of imprisonment and commenced the term of supervised release. (Dkt. #1240,
Sealed).
On October 27, 2025, the United States Probation Officer executed a Petition for

Warrant or Summons for Offender Under Supervision (Dkt. #1237, Sealed). The Petition asserts
that Defendant violated two (2) conditions of supervision, as follows: (1) Mandatory Condition
Defendant must refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance; (2) Special Condition
Defendant must participate in a program of testing and treatment for substance abuse and follow
the rules and regulations of that program until discharged. The probation officer, in consultation
with the treatment provider, will supervise Defendant’s participation in the program. Defendant
must pay any cost associated with treatment and testing. (Dkt. #1237, Sealed).
The Petition alleges that Defendant committed the following acts: (1) On June 9, 2025,
Defendant admitted verbally and in writing, to using methamphetamine on or before June 9,
2025. On July 2, 2025, September 9, 2025, and September 25, 2025, Defendant submitted a
urine specimen at the U.S. Probation Office in Sherman, TX, which tested positive for
amphetamine and methamphetamine. The specimens were sent to the national testing laboratory
and confirmed positive for both substances; (2) During the initial interview conducted on May
19, 2025, Defendant was unable to submit a urine specimen at the United States Probation
Office, Plano, Texas. Despite drinking a lot of water, he was unable to submit a specimen as
directed. He was told it be considered a stall and failure to submit. He agreed. On May 28, 2025;
July 22, 2025; August 11, 2025; August 28, 2025; and October 7, 2025, Defendant failed to
participate in the Random Drug Testing Program by failing to report to the United States
Probation Office in Sherman, Texas, to submit a urine specimen. (Dkt. #1237, Sealed).
Prior to the Government putting on its case at the final revocation hearing, and after
consenting to the undersigned’s taking the plea, Defendant admitted as true Allegation 1 as set
forth in the Petition. The Government withdrew Allegation 2. Based upon Defendant’s plea of
true, the court finds Defendant did violate his condition of supervised release with respect to

Allegation 1 contained in the U.S. Probation Office’s Petition. Counsel announced the parties had
agreed upon the sentence to be imposed. The Court, having considered the agreement as well as
the applicable U.S. Sentencing Commission Guidelines, agreed with the parties’ proposed
sentence and recommended sentence be imposed as follows.
RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, the court recommends that Defendant’s
supervised release be revoked and that he be committed to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons
to be imprisoned for an additional term of twelve (12) months, with no term of supervised release
to follow.
The court finally recommends that Defendant be housed in a Bureau of Prisons facility at
Cimarron, if appropriate.
Defendant waived his right to allocute before the District Judge and his right to object to
the report and recommendation of this court.
