Background
Ashley Marie Myles pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm as a prohibited person, a Class C felony. In January 2024, Judge Marcia A. Crone sentenced her to 27 months in prison and three years of supervised release, including a 180-day residential-reentry-center placement.
Myles began supervision in December 2024. In May 2025, probation filed a warrant petition alleging five violations, including unlawful controlled-substance use, failure to maintain an approved residence, failure to permit probation visits, prohibited associations, and noncompliance with the reentry-center condition.
The Court’s Holding
After a September 4 revocation hearing, Myles pleaded true to the allegation that she failed to keep her probation officer informed of her residence. The parties jointly recommended revocation, a 10-month prison term that included conversion of 72 days of unserved community confinement, and two years of supervised release.
Magistrate Judge Zack Hawthorn found that the admitted conduct was a Grade C supervised-release violation. With Myles’s criminal-history category of IV, the advisory Chapter 7 range was six to 12 months. The magistrate judge recommended granting the petition, revoking supervision, imposing the agreed 10-month term, and ordering two additional years of supervision under the previously imposed conditions. The parties waived objections and consented to immediate action by the district court.
Key Takeaways
- The report recommends revocation based on Myles’s admitted failure to notify probation of her change in residence.
- The recommended 10-month sentence includes 72 days of unserved community confinement converted to imprisonment.
- The recommendation would reimpose the prior mandatory, standard, and special supervision conditions for two years.
Why It Matters
This is a report and recommendation, not a final revocation order by the district judge. It applies the Grade C revocation framework to an admitted residence-reporting violation and treats unserved community confinement as additional imprisonment under the Chapter 7 policy statements.
The parties’ waivers of objections and of an additional appearance before the district court allow the district court to act on the recommendation immediately.
