for the
EASTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
U.S.A. vs. Dekwaan Leguez Boone Docket No. 7:21-CR-51-3M
Petition for Action on Supervised Release
COMES NOW Jay Kellum, U.S. Probation Officer of the court, presenting a petition for modification of
the Judgment and Commitment Order of Dekwaan Leguez Boone, who, upon an earlier plea of guilty to
Brandishing Firearms During and in Relation to a Crime of Violence and Aiding and Abetting, in violation
of 18 U.S.C. §§ 924(c), 924(c)(l)(A)(ii), and 2, and Possession of a Firearm by a Felon, in violation of 18
U.S.C. §§ 924(g)(l) and 924(a)(2), was sentenced by the Honorable Richard E. Myers II, Chief United
States District Judge, on March 11, 2022, to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons for a term of 51 months.
It was further ordered that upon release from imprisonment the defendant be placed on supervised release
for the period of four years.
Dekwaan Leguez Boone was released from custody on February 28, 2025, at which time the term of
supervised release commenced.
On December 15, 2025, a Violation Report was submitted to the court advising that on December 9, 2025,
Boone tested positive for marijuana use. It was also advised that since April 28, 2025, the defendant had
made one payment of $150 and was in arrears five months totaling $250. The court agreed to continue
supervision.
On May 11, 2026, a Petition for Action was approved by the court addressing U.S. v. McLaurin. At that
time, the court ordered that the defendant be subject to the mandatory conditions that were imposed at
sentencing, the standard conditions, as referenced in the current standing order for the Eastern District of
North Carolina, and special conditions imposed by the court. Additionally, the court was notified of a
positive urinalysis provided by the defendant on March 24, 2026, and continued non-payment of his
monetary obligation. Supervision was permitted to continue without modification.
RESPECTFULLY PRESENTING PETITION FOR ACTION OF COURT FOR CAUSE AS
FOLLOWS:
The defendant possessed marijuana, cocaine, oxycodone, and oxymorphone, as evidenced by a test
conducted on May 21, 2026, which yielded positive results for these substances. Laboratory confirmation
reports further verified the results. When confronted, Boone readily admitted to using marijuana, but denied
knowingly using the other listed substances. Nevertheless, Boone was reprimanded for the violation conduct
and expressed remorse. As Boone is actively engaged in outpatient substance abuse treatment, the frequency
of attendance will be increased. Additionally, his participation in' the Surprise Urinalysis Program has
increased. As a result of Boone's violation conduct, it is respectfully recommended that he participate in
Moral Reconation Therapy through Coastal Horizons Center in Wilmington, North Carolina, which will
increase his likelihood of success on supervision. The defendant signed a Waiver of Hearing agreeing to
the proposed modification of supervision.
PRAYING THAT THE COURT WILL ORDER the supervised release be modified as follows:
1. The defendant shall participate in a cognitive behavioral program as directed by the probation office
