U.S.S.G. §7B1.2
Reporting of Violations of Probation (Policy Statement)
(a) The probation officer shall promptly report to the court any alleged
Grade A or B violation.
(b) The probation officer shall promptly report to the court any alleged
Grade C violation unless the officer determines: (1) that such violation is
minor, and not part of a continuing pattern of violations; and (2) that non-reporting will not present an undue risk to an individual or the public or
be inconsistent with any directive of the court relative to the reporting of
violations.
Commentary
Application Note:
1. Under subsection (b), a Grade C violation must be promptly reported to the court unless the
probation officer makes an affirmative determination that the alleged violation meets the criteria
for non-reporting. For example, an isolated failure to file a monthly report or a minor traffic
infraction generally would not require reporting.
