8 The United States District Court for the District of Nevada, the United States
9 Pretrial Services Office, the United States Probation Office, the United States Attorney’s
10 Office, and the Federal Public Defender’s Office for the District of Nevada have identified
11 the need for a comprehensive post-plea/pre-adjudication program that blends treatment
12 and sanctions alternatives to effectively address offender behavior, rehabilitation, and the
13 safety of the community. Working together, a program was created to address this need
14 as outlined in the Interagency Agreement for the Recovery, Inspiration, Support &
15 Excellence (“RISE”) Program. The program has been operating as RISE Court in the
16 unofficial southern division for a period of two years as a successful pilot program1. As a
17 result, RISE Court is now instituted as a permanent program in the District of Nevada.
18 It is therefore ordered that the program known as RISE Court will proceed as a
19 permanent program in the District of Nevada.
