Reported / Citable
Background
In July 2024, the U.S. Probation Office petitioned for a warrant or summons alleging that Marvin Love had violated a condition of his supervised release and recommending revocation. After a warrant issued and Love was arrested, he appeared before a U.S. magistrate judge in August 2026 and was detained pending a revocation hearing.
At the September 4, 2026 hearing, Love waived his right to a preliminary hearing and his right to appear before the district judge when his sentence was modified. He also consented to allocution before the magistrate judge. After considering the parties’ arguments, the evidence, Love’s original offense, and his intervening conduct, the magistrate judge recommended revocation and a 13-month prison sentence consecutive to any state-imposed sentences, with no additional supervised release.
The Court’s Holding
The district court accepted and adopted the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation. The court accordingly revoked Love’s term of supervised release.
The court sentenced Love to 13 months in prison, to run consecutively to any state-imposed sentences. It imposed no further term of supervised release.
Key Takeaways
- Love’s supervised release was revoked based on the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.
- The court imposed a 13-month term of imprisonment consecutive to any state-imposed sentences.
- No additional term of supervised release will follow Love’s imprisonment.
Why It Matters
The order illustrates the sentencing consequences of violating supervised-release conditions, including revocation, additional imprisonment, and a requirement that the federal sentence follow any state sentence. It also shows the district court’s adoption of a magistrate judge’s recommendation after a revocation hearing at which the defendant waived specified procedural rights.
