Background

In 2019, U.S. District Judge Marcia A. Crone sentenced Gregory Scott Lyons to 110 months in prison and five years of supervised release. Lyons began his current supervised-release term on December 23, 2025.

In March 2026, a probation officer sought a warrant alleging that Lyons violated three release conditions: maintaining full-time lawful employment unless excused, avoiding computers or internet-capable devices until completing a sex-offender assessment, and residing at a residential reentry facility while following its rules.

The Court’s Holding

Following a final revocation hearing, Lyons pleaded true to all three allegations, consented to revocation, and waived objections to the magistrate judge’s proposed findings and recommendation.

Magistrate Judge Bill Davis recommended that the district court revoke Lyons’s supervised release, impose nine months of Bureau of Prisons custody, and require four additional years of supervised release. The recommendation also proposed placement at FCI Seagoville if appropriate.

Key Takeaways

  • Lyons admitted each alleged supervised-release violation.
  • The magistrate judge recommended a nine-month revocation sentence.
  • The recommended sentence includes four years of supervised release after imprisonment.

Why It Matters

The report reflects a revocation recommendation based on Lyons’s admissions and consent, rather than a contested evidentiary determination. It does not itself state that the district court has entered the recommended revocation judgment.
