Reported / Citable
Background
The district court referred the Government’s request to revoke Miles Quincy Williams’s supervised release to a U.S. magistrate judge. Because the parties did not reach a plea agreement, the magistrate judge conducted a final revocation hearing on June 23, 2026.
At the hearing, the Government moved to dismiss allegation 2 of the revocation petition, and Williams stipulated that he had made terroristic threats to the victim named in the case. The magistrate judge therefore found that Williams had committed the violation charged in allegation 1. Williams waived both allocution before the district court and his right to object to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.
The Court’s Holding
The district court concluded that the magistrate judge’s findings and conclusions were correct and adopted the report and recommendation as the court’s opinion. It revoked Williams’s supervised release and granted the Government’s motion to dismiss allegation 2.
The court committed Williams to the Bureau of Prisons for an additional 18 months, followed by 12 months of supervised release. It reimposed all conditions from the original judgment and recommended placement in a Bureau of Prisons facility in El Reno, Oklahoma, if appropriate.
Key Takeaways
- Williams’s stipulation that he made terroristic threats supported the finding that he violated allegation 1 of the revocation petition.
- Williams waived allocution before the district court and waived objections to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.
- The court imposed 18 months of imprisonment followed by 12 months of supervised release and dismissed allegation 2 on the Government’s motion.
Why It Matters
The order illustrates the consequences of admitting conduct charged as a supervised-release violation and waiving objections to a magistrate judge’s recommendation. It also confirms that revocation may result in an additional prison term followed by another period of supervised release with the original conditions reimposed.
