USA v. Adams, et al

v. ' NO. 9:21-CR-37
'
'
BILLY DEWAYNE ADAMS '
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 first 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 10 months’ imprisonment, with no supervised
release to follow. Both parties recognize that Adams has approximately 365 days’ jail
credit toward this agreed 305-day sentence (as of January 12, 2026). Therefore, the
Bureau of Prisons should consider the prior jail credits when calculating his sentence.
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.
