USA vs. Kevin J. Gregory Docket No.: CR 23-00231-JLS
Restitution shall be due during the period of imprisonment, at the rate of not less than $25 per quarter, and
pursuant to the Bureau of Prisons' Inmate Financial Responsibility Program. If any amount of the restitution remains
unpaid after release from custody, nominal monthly payments of at least 10% of defendant's gross monthly income but
not less than $25, whichever is greater, shall be made during the period of supervised release and shall begin 30 days
after the commencement of supervision. Nominal restitution payments are ordered as the Court finds that the
defendant's economic circumstances do not allow for either immediate or future payment of the amount ordered.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3612(f)(3)(A), interest on the restitution ordered is waived because the defendant does
not have the ability to pay interest. Payments may be subject to penalties for default and delinquency pursuant to 18
U.S.C. § 3612(g).
The defendant shall comply with Second Amended General Order No. 20-04.
Pursuant to Guideline § 5E1.2(a), all fines are waived as the Court finds that the defendant has established that
he is unable to pay and is not likely to become able to pay any fine.
The Court recommends that the Bureau of Prisons evaluate the defendant’s eligibility for the 500-hour long
drug treatment program, 1 conduct a mental health evaluation of the defendant, and provide all necessary treatment.
Upon release from imprisonment, the defendant shall be placed on supervised release for a term of three (3)
years under the following terms and conditions:
1. The defendant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the United States Probation & Pretrial Services
Office and Second Amended General Order 20-04, including the conditions of probation and supervised
release set forth in Section III of Second Amended General Order 20-04.
2. The defendant shall refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance. The defendant shall submit to
one drug test within 15 days of release from custody and at least two periodic drug tests thereafter, not to
exceed eight tests per month, as directed by the Probation Officer.
3. The defendant shall participate in an outpatient substance abuse treatment and counseling program that
includes urinalysis, breath and/or sweat patch testing, as directed by the Probation Officer. The defendant
shall abstain from using alcohol and illicit drugs, and from abusing prescription medications during the
period of supervision.
4. During the course of supervision, the Probation Officer, with the agreement of the defendant and defense
counsel, may place the defendant in a residential drug treatment program approved by the U.S. Probation
and Pretrial Services Office for treatment of narcotic addiction or drug dependency, which may include
counseling and testing, to determine if the defendant has reverted to the use of drugs. The defendant shall
reside in the treatment program until discharged by the Program Director and Probation Officer.
5. The defendant shall participate in mental health treatment, which may include evaluation and counseling,
until discharged from the program by the treatment provider, with the approval of the Probation Officer.

The discussion of this program is not intended to be part of the Court's decision on whether to sentence the defendant to incarceration or on
the length of the term to be imposed, but it merely to provide an indication of possible opportunities for rehabilitation within the prison system.

6. During the course of supervision, the Probation Officer, with the agreement of the defendant and defense
counsel, may place the defendant in a residential treatment program for co-occurring disorders approved by
the United States Probation & Pretrial Services Office for treatment of mental health disorders and
substance abuse or drug dependency, which may include psychiatric services, counseling and substance
abuse testing. The defendant shall reside in the treatment program until discharged by the Program Director
and Probation Officer.
7. As directed by the Probation Officer, the defendant shall pay all or part of the costs of the Court-ordered
treatment to the aftercare contractors during the period of community supervision. The defendant shall
provide payment and proof of payment as directed by the Probation Officer. If the defendant has no ability
to pay, no payment shall be required.
8. During the period of community supervision, the defendant shall pay the special assessment and restitution
in accordance with this judgment's orders pertaining to such payment.
9. The defendant shall cooperate in the collection of a DNA sample from the defendant.
10. The defendant shall apply all monies received from income tax refunds, lottery winnings, inheritance,
judgments and any other financial gains to the Court-ordered financial obligation.
11. The defendant shall comply with the immigration rules and regulations of the United States, and if deported
from this country, either voluntarily or involuntarily, not reenter the United States illegally. The defendant is
not required to report to the Probation & Pretrial Services Office while residing outside of the United States;
however, within 72 hours of release from any custody or any reentry to the United States during the period
of Court-ordered supervision, the defendant shall report for instructions to the United States Probation
Office located at: 300 N. Los Angeles Street, Suite 1300, Los Angeles, CA 90012-3323.
12. The defendant shall submit the defendant's person, property, house, residence, vehicle, papers, computers,
cell phones, other electronic communications or data storage devices or media, email accounts, social media
accounts, cloud storage accounts, or other areas under the defendant’s control, to a search conducted by a
United States Probation Officer or law enforcement officer. Failure to submit to a search may be grounds
for revocation. The defendant shall warn any other occupants that the premises may be subject to searches
pursuant to this condition. Any search pursuant to this condition will be conducted at a reasonable time and
in a reasonable manner upon reasonable suspicion that the defendant has violated a condition of his
supervision and that the areas to be searched contain evidence of this violation.
The Court authorizes the Probation Officer to disclose the Presentence Report, and any previous mental health
evaluations or reports, to the treatment provider. The treatment provider may provide information (excluding the
Presentence report), to State or local social service agencies (such as the State of California, Department of Social
Service), for the purpose of the defendant’s rehabilitation.
The Court authorizes the Probation & Pretrial Services Office to disclose the Presentence Report to the substance abuse
treatment provider to facilitate the defendant's treatment for narcotic addiction or drug dependency. Further
redisclosure of the Presentence Report by the treatment provider is prohibited without the consent of the sentencing
judge.
The Court advised the defendant of his right to appeal. The Government’s motion to dismiss the remaining counts is
granted by the Court. The Court recommends designation to a Southern California facility to maintain support and
contact with family.
