Modification of Supervised Release Terms and Conditions.
It is possible to seek a modification of the conditions of supervised release with a motion in federal court. LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C. has successfully represented clients in federal court for decades.
Federal Supervised Release Motions
It is possible to seek modifying conditions of supervised release in federal courts. There must be a valid reason, not merely that you did not like the sentence. At sentencing, a judge ordered a person to serve three months in a halfway house upon release from prison. The judge didn’t know that the person would be moved by the Bureau of Prisons to the halfway house three months earlier than expected. If the release date remained the same, the person would still have to serve another 3 months after the release date, which was not the judge’s sentence or intention. The Bureau of Prison’s failure to update the release date would be a good reason to file a motion to modify the conditions of supervised release. A federal and state judge can modify a sentence when a proper motion is filed and presented to the court as to why the modification is appropriate.
Common problems that might require a modification of someone’s conditions of supervised release would be the need for the defendant to move to another state, travel abroad, or get a change in a payment plan. A United States District Court judge in Detroit can also modify the pretrial release conditions to allow the defendant to be released from the court’s supervision earlier than previously ordered. Changes in circumstances may merit this relief, as well as excellent behavior while on supervised release, or health issues.
