CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:24-CR-47
JUDGE MICHAEL TRUNCALE
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, for consideration pursuant to
applicable laws and orders of this court. The court has received and considered the Judge’s
Report, the record, pleadings and all available evidence.
At the close of the revocation hearing, Judge Zack Hawthorn recommended:
1. finding the Defendant violated the seventh 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. sentencing the defendant to a term of 8 months’ imprisonment, with 8 years of
supervised release to follow. His term of imprisonment should be served at the Federal
Correctional Institute in Beaumont, Texas, if the Bureau of Prisons can accommodate
such request. The court adopts the magistrate judge’s findings for the imposition of the
standard, mandatory, and special conditions of supervised release previously imposed
when the Defendant was originally sentenced, and the subsequent modifications
imposed by the court.
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, consenting to

revocation of supervised release and imposition of the sentence recommended. The Defendant
also waived his 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 Mark Anthony
Stokes’s supervised release is REVOKED.
Judgment and commitment will be entered separately, in accordance with the magistrate
judge’s recommendations.
