U.S.A. vs.
Barajas, Sasha MDocket No.0980 2:22CR00133-TOR-5
Petition for Action on Conditions of Pretrial Release
COMES NOWLinda J. Leavitt, PRETRIAL SERVICES OFFICER, presenting an official report upon the conduct
of defendant Sasha M. Barajas, who was placed under pretrial release supervision by the Honorable U.S. Magistrate Judge
James A. Goeke, sitting in the court at Spokane, Washington, on the 19 day of October 2022, under the following
th
conditions:
Standard Condition #9: Defendant shall refrain from the use or unlawful possession of a narcotic drug or other controlled
substances defined in 21 U.S.C. § 802, unless prescribed by a licensed medical practitioner in conformance with Federal
law. Defendant may not use or possess marijuana, regardless of whether Defendant has been authorized medical marijuana
under state law.
RESPECTFULLY PRESENTING PETITION FOR ACTION OF COURT FOR CAUSE AS FOLLOWS:
On October 20, 2022, the conditions of pretrial release were reviewed and signed by Sasha Barajas in the Western District
of Washington, acknowledging an understanding of her conditions.
Violation #1: Sasha Barajas is alleged to being in violation of pretrial release by consuming controlled substances,
methamphetamine and fentanyl, between February 25 and 26, 2023.
On March 7, 2023, this officer was contacted via email by the supervising officer in the Western District of Washington,
advising Ms. Barajas submitted a random drug test on March 1, 2023. Results were received on March 7, 2023, confirming
a positive reading for methamphetamine and fentanyl. Per the supervising officer, he confronted Ms. Barajas about the
positive drug test and she admitted to consuming methamphetamine between February 25 and 26, 2023. She further stated
she was unaware that what she "smoked" contained fentanyl.
As a corrective action to address Ms. Barajas' relapse, she has been referred to secure a substance abuse evaluation and was
placed on a random colorline testing program in the Western District of Washington. She is subject to one random drug test
per week. Per the supervising officer, he discussed decision making techniques and the consequences of her choices. Ms.
Barajas understands the consequences of any similar continued behavior that may ultimately result in going back before
the Court. She was encouraged to continue making good choices that will place her back on the successful track she was on.
This officer respectfully recommends no action be taken at this time. Should Ms. Barajas continue to violate any of her
conditions of pretrial supervision, she will be referred to the court for corrective action.
PRAYING THAT THE COURT WILL ORDER NO ACTION AT THIS TIME
