REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF
THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On January 21, 2026, the Court held a hearing on the Government’s Petition for Warrant
or Summons for Offender Under Supervision. Dkt. No. 206. The Government was represented by
Assistant United States Attorney Lauren Richards. Defendant was represented by Hailey Amox.
BACKGROUND
Antonio Alexander Lee (“Defendant”) was sentenced on August 21, 2018, 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 Distribute 5 Grams of More of Methamphetamine,
a Class B felony. This offense carried a statutory maximum imprisonment term of 40 years. The
guideline imprisonment range, based on a total offense level of 25 and a criminal history category
of IV, was 83 to 105 months. Defendant was subsequently sentenced to 94 months imprisonment
followed by a 5-year term of supervised release subject to the standard conditions of release, plus
special conditions to include financial disclosure, drug after-care, acquire a high school
equivalency certificate, and a $100.00 special assessment. On September 23, 2024, Judge
Schroeder signed an order reducing Defendant’s sentence from 94 months to 78 months
imprisonment. The statement of reasons was amended and an offense level of 25 remained but
criminal history category was changed from IV to III, resulting in the new guideline range of 70

to 87 months. On July 24, 2024, Defendant completed his term of imprisonment and began service
of the supervision term.
PETITION TO REVOKE
In its Petition for Warrant or Summons for Offender Under Supervision (Dkt. No. 206),
the Government alleges Defendant violated the following conditions:
1) Defendant must not commit another federal, state or local crime. Specifically, the
Government alleges that on or about January 6, 2025, Defendant committed the new law violation
of Aggravated Robbery-Home Invasion, a 1st degree felony in Garland, Texas.
2) Defendant must not knowingly leave the federal judicial district where he is
authorized to reside without first getting permission from the court or the probation officer.
Specifically, the Government alleges that on or about January 6, 2025, Defendant traveled outside
the Eastern District of Texas, without permission from the court or the probation officer.
3) Defendant must not communicate or interact with someone Defendant knows is
engaged in criminal activity. If Defendant knows someone has been convicted of a felony,
Defendant must not knowingly communicate or interact with that person without first
getting permission of the probation officer. Specifically, the Government alleges that on or
about January 6, 2025, Defendant communicated or interacted with people engaged in criminal
activities: Tiffany Nicole Beggs, Sarah Elaine Bryant, and unknown third individual without
permission from the probation officer.
4) If Defendant is arrested or questioned by a law enforcement officer, Defendant
must notify the probation officer within 72 hours. Specifically, the Government alleges that on
or about January 6, 2025, Defendant was arrested by Garland Police, and he did not notify the
probation officer within 72 hours.

RECOMMENDATION
The Court scheduled a final revocation hearing January 21, 2026. At the hearing, the Court
reviewed the alleged violations of the above conditions with Defendant. Consenting to the
undersigned’s taking the plea, Defendant admitted as true the allegations as set forth in the petition.
Based upon Defendant’s plea of true, the Court finds Defendant did violate his conditions
of supervised release as alleged 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: Pursuant to the Sentencing
Reform Act of 1984, it is recommended that Defendant be committed to the custody of the Bureau
of Prisons to be imprisoned for a term of eighteen (18) months, with no term of supervised release
to follow.
The Court further recommends the Court request the Bureau of Prisons designate FCI
Butner 1, North Carolina, for service of sentence. The parties noted on the record that Defendant
was initially placed into federal custody on this petition on December 16, 2025. Additionally, while
Defendant’s original sentence for the underlying offense in this matter was reduced to 78 months,
Defendant noted that he served 81 months in the Bureau of Prisons before beginning his term of
supervised release, resulting in approximately three months credit to be applied to the instant
eighteen-month sentence.
Based on the foregoing, it is
RECOMMENDED that Defendant’s plea of true to the allegations set forth above in the
petition be ACCEPTED. It is further
RECOMMENDED that Defendant’s supervised release be REVOKED. It is further

RECOMMENDED that Defendant be committed to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons
to be imprisoned for a term of eighteen (18) months, with no term of supervised release to follow,
with FCI Butner 1, North Carolina, as the place of confinement.
The parties were informed of the right to file objections to the recommendations as set forth
above. The parties waived their objections.
Defendant was also advised that he has the right to be present with counsel, to speak on his
own behalf, and to have counsel speak on his behalf before any additional sentence is imposed.
Defendant signed a written waiver of his right to be present and speak, and his right to have counsel
present and speak, before the district judge imposes the recommended sentence.
