Case No. 24-cr-40067-SMY-1
ORDER
YANDLE, Chief Judge:
Defendant Kerry St. Pierre was convicted of one count of conspiracy to distribute and
possession with intent to distribute controlled substances on June 16, 2022 (Doc. 2). 	She was
sentenced on September 20, 2022, to 30 months incarceration and 2 years of supervised release.
Id. Defendant’s term of supervised release commenced on April 1, 2024, and the jurisdiction over
her supervision was transferred from the Eastern District of Missouri to this Court on November
21, 2024 (Doc. 1). Now pending before the Court are Defendant’s Motions for Early Termination
of Supervised Release (Docs. 4, 6, 10). The Government and U.S. Probation Office do not oppose
the Motion (Doc. 13).
Under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e), the Court may terminate a defendant's term of supervised
release early if the defendant has completed at least 1 year of supervised release and the Court is
satisfied that early termination is warranted by the conduct of the defendant and in the interest of
justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(1). In considering whether to terminate a term of supervised release,
the Court is to consider relevant factors set forth under 18 U.S.C. § 3553. The Court notes that
although Defendant tested positive for controlled substance on August 13, 2024, she regularly

attended substance abuse counseling afterward and has had no violations since. 	Additionally,
Defendant has secured full-time employment as a dental assistant. Having been fully advised and
after considering the nature and circumstances of the underlying offence, the need to afford
adequate deterrence, and the need to protect the public, the Court finds that Defendant has
substantially reintegrated into the community and is no longer in need of supervision. As such,
the termination of supervised release is warranted and in the interests of justice. 	18 U.S.C. §
3583(e)(1).
Accordingly, Defendant Kerry St. Pierre’s Motion for Early Termination of Supervised
Release (Doc. 4) is GRANTED, and Defendant’s Second and Third Motions for Early
Termination of Supervised Release (Doc. 6, 10) are DENIED AS MOOT. Defendant’s term of
supervised release shall be TERMINATED effective the date of this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
