Background
Patrick Kasong Muyej was sentenced in the Northern District of Texas in April 2024 to 31 months’ imprisonment and three years of supervised release. His supervised-release term began November 13, 2024.
In January 2026, a probation officer sought a warrant alleging six violations. The petition alleged that Muyej failed to make required restitution payments during several months of 2025, failed to report to probation from September 2025 through January 2026, did not reside at an approved address for at least two months, failed to verify employment, and was unsuccessfully discharged from outpatient substance-abuse treatment.
The Court’s Holding
At the final revocation hearing, Muyej pleaded true to the allegations, consented to revocation, and waived objections to the magistrate judge’s proposed findings and recommendation. The government requested, and Muyej agreed to, a six-month prison term followed by 15 months of supervised release.
Magistrate Judge Don Bush recommended revoking Muyej’s supervised release and imposing six months in Bureau of Prisons custody, consecutive to any other imprisonment term, followed by 15 months of supervised release under all previously imposed conditions.
Key Takeaways
- This was a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation, not a final district-court revocation order.
- Muyej admitted the alleged violations and waived objections to the proposed recommendation.
- The recommended sentence was six months’ imprisonment followed by 15 months of supervised release.
Why It Matters
The recommendation illustrates a consensual supervised-release revocation based on multiple compliance failures, including missed restitution payments, missed reporting, residence and employment issues, and unsuccessful treatment. Because Muyej waived objections, the recommendation was positioned for district-court adoption.
