Background

  • Herode Chancy pled guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1349.
  • Sentenced on September 8, 2021, to 30 months’ imprisonment and 2 years’ supervised release (longer than the Probation Office’s recommendation).
  • Chancy served over fifteen months of home detention before starting supervised release on July 3, 2023, and has been compliant throughout.
  • Defendant is a gainfully employed, single father with no prior criminal record, and the crime caused no harm to any victim.
  • The Court specifically imposed supervised release to prevent recidivism, but observed at sentencing the risk of reoffending was low.
  • Chancy moved for early termination of supervised release, with no opposition from the government.
