DISTRICT OF VERMONT
In re: Release of Information Related to Supervised Release
and Pre-trial Violation Proceedings
GENERAL ORDER NO. 110
This order supplements F.R.Crim.P. 32.1, 18 U.S.C. § 3606, and Rules 57.1 and 57.2 of the
Local Rules of Criminal Procedure in providing guidance concerning the release of information
by the U.S. Probation Office to the parties at the initiation of a violation proceeding. It concerns
the timing of the release of information in support of the alleged violation. It does not alter the
right of either side to seek additional disclosures pursuant to F.R.Crim.P. 32.1(b)(2)(B) or as
otherwise ordered by the court.
a) Supervised Release and Probation violations
The U.S. Probation Office shall release information in support of the alleged violation to the
United States Attorney’s Office and to counsel for the defendant (or to the defendant if self-
represented) upon issuance of a summons or as soon as possible following the defendant’s arrest.
b) Pre-trial violations
The U.S. Probation Office may release information related to a potential violation of conditions
of pre-trial release to the United States Attorney’s Office at any time. This information shall be
released to the defendant or defense counsel upon filing of the Government’s motion to revoke
pre-trial release, unless the motion is filed under seal seeking an arrest warrant, in which case the
information shall be released to the defense at the time of arrest or unsealing, whichever is first.
Dated at Burlington, in the District of Vermont, this 16th day of May, 2022.
