IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF IOWA
IN THE MATTER OF: ORDER
REQUIRED NOTICE OF HEARINGS ON PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
PETITIONS TO REVOKE PROBATION OR
SUPERVISED RELEASE NO. 25-AO-2-P
For the parties and the Court to be properly prepared for hearings on Petitions to Revoke
Probation or Supervised Release, the defendant must provide notice in advance of the hearing which, if
any, of the alleged violations are contested. This notice shall include both the current violations and any
prior violations that have not previously been found by the Court at a hearing. The parties and the Court
are entitled to advanced knowledge of witnesses and exhibits.
THEREFORE it is ordered that:
1. At least three court days prior to a scheduled revocation hearing, the defendant must file a
notice which states whether each of the alleged violations in the Petition(s) will be admitted
or contested by reference to the violation number. The defendant must address all violations
not previously found by the Court at a hearing, and not just the current violations.
2. Regardless of whether any allegations in the Petition to Revoke will be contested, the parties
shall exchange a list of witnesses and exhibits, and copies of exhibits, that they anticipate will
be offered at the revocation hearing. These shall be exchanged at least 24 hours prior to the
hearing unless unforeseen circumstances require a party to add exhibits or witnesses within
24 hours of the hearing. These lists must be emailed to chambers. The supervising probation
officer and the defendant need not be included on the witness lists. If a party has no witnesses
or exhibits for the hearing, it is not necessary to notify the opposing party or chambers.
3. If, upon preparation, the parties believe the hearing will take more than 45 minutes to
complete, they must notify chambers immediately by email with a copy to opposing counsel.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated this 13th day of May, 2025.
