ORDER



JOHN F. MOULDS, United States Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff's motion for probation revocation came on regularly for hearing October 4, 2007.
Joseph M. Cook, Assistant United States Attorney, appeared for the plaintiff. Linda Harter,
Assistant Federal Defender, appeared for defendant. The court ordered further briefing,
which has now been submitted. Upon review of the motion and the documents in support and
opposition, upon hearing the arguments of counsel and good cause appearing therefor,
            THE COURT FINDS AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
Defendant was convicted of theft of government property, a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 641 and on
August 22, 2002, was sentenced to a term of 60 months supervised probation. On
December 22, 2006, the defendant's sentence was modified to allow court probation in lieu
of supervised probation. On August 1, 2007, the government filed a probation revocation petition.
On August 15, 2007, the defendant was ordered to appear and show cause why probation should
not be revoked. On August 22, 2007, defendant's five-year probation term expired. On
October 4, 2007, the matter was heard and defendant moved to dismiss the petition for lack of
jurisdiction. Defendant argued that plaintiff's petition was not under oath or affirmation; thus the
order was invalid and could not serve to extend the court's jurisdiction beyond the expiration of
defendant's five-year probation term.
The order specifically stated: "Based on the foregoing allegations, and the good cause appearing
therefrom, it is hereby ordered that the defendant appear on Wednesday, September 5, 2007,
at 11:00 a.m., to show cause why the probation granted on August 22, 2002, and subsequently
modified, should not be revoked. [¶] IT IS SO ORDERED." (Id.)
An attempt to modify, extend, or revoke probation must be made within the probationary
term. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 3563(c), 3564(d), 3565(a) and (c); see also United States v. Schmidt,
99 F.3d 315, 317-18 (9th Cir. 1996) (noting that revocation after expiration of probation
term was proper where summons was issued prior to expiration); United States v. Humphress,
878 F.Supp. 168, 170-71(D.Or. 1994); cf. Freeman, 922 F.2d at 1394-95 (discussing former
18 U.S.C. § 3563(c) and stating that a court "may not revoke a probationary sentence once it has
expired."). Overruled on other grounds in United States v. Palomba, 182 F.3d 1121, 1123
(9th Cir. 1999).

Title 18 U.S.C. § 3565(c), dealing with delayed revocation of probation, provides:
(c) Delayed revocation. — The power of the court to revoke a sentence of probation for
violation of a condition of probation, and to impose another sentence, extends beyond the
expiration of the term of probation for any period reasonably necessary for the adjudication of
matters arising before its expiration if, prior to its expiration, a warrant or summons has been
issued on the basis of an allegation of such a violation.
Id.
Title 18 U.S.C. § 3583(i), dealing with delayed revocation of supervised release provides:
(i) Delayed revocation. — The power of the court to revoke a term of supervised release for
violation of a condition of supervised release, and to order the defendant to serve a term of
imprisonment and, subject to the limitations in subsection (h), a further term of supervised
release, extends beyond the expiration of the term of supervised release for any period
reasonably necessary for the adjudication of matters arising before its expiration if, before its
expiration, a warrant or summons has been issued on the basis of an allegation of such a violation.
Id.
Here, it is clear that no warrant issued and that the August 15, 2007 order was not based on
sworn allegations. The question here is whether this court's order of August 15, 2007 may be
construed as a summons under the above statutes. This court finds that it cannot.
The statutory provision for warrants or summonses, 18 U.S.C. § 3046, refers to Rules 4 and 9
of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Rule 4(b) provides for the form for the warrant and
summons:
(1) Warrant. A warrant must:
(A) contain the defendant's name or, if it is unknown, a name or description by which the
defendant can be identified with reasonable certainty;
(B) describe the offense charged in the complaint;
(C) command that the defendant be arrested and brought without unnecessary delay before
a magistrate judge or, if none is reasonably available, before a state or local judicial officer; and
(D) be signed by a judge.
(2) Summons. A summons must be in the same form as a warrant except that it must require
the defendant to appear before a magistrate judge at a stated time and place.
Id. Rule 9(b) provides:

(1) Warrant. The warrant must conform to Rule 4(b)(1) except that it must be signed by the clerk
and must describe the offense charged in the indictment or information.
(2) Summons. The summons must be in the same form as a warrant except that it must require
the defendant to appear before the court at a stated time and place.
Id.
Under common principles of statutory construction, the word "summons" is a term of art
distinguishing it from orders issued by judicial officers. The Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit has construed 18 U.S.C. § 3583(i) "to mean that not all warrants or summonses will
extend the district court's jurisdiction to revoke supervised release." United States v.
Vargas-Amaya, 389 F.3d 901(9th Cir. 2004). In Vargas-Amaya, the court held that the district
court's jurisdiction to revoke supervised release could be extended beyond the term of
supervision, based upon a warrant issued during the term of supervision, but only if the
warrant was based on sworn facts.Id. The court declined to express an opinion as to whether
the summons must also be based upon sworn facts. Id. at 906 n. 4.
However, this court finds the reasoning of Vargas-Amaya equally applicable to the summons in
this context. Rule 4(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure states:
If the complaint or one or more affidavits filed with the complaint establish probable cause to
believe that an offense has been committed and that the defendant committed it, the judge must
issue an arrest warrant to an officer authorized to execute it. At the request of an attorney for the
government, the judge must issue a summons, instead of a warrant, to a person authorized to serve
it. A judge may issue more than one warrant or summons on the same complaint. If a
defendant fails to appear in response to a summons, a judge may, and upon request of an
attorney for the government must, issue a warrant.
Id. Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure requires that the complaint be made
under oath. Id. When read together, these rules demonstrate that generally a summons
must also be supported by allegations sworn under oath. As noted by defendant, the Ninth
Circuit has previously found there was "little distinction between the issuance of a warrant
or a summons."United States v. Greenberg, 320 F.2d 467 (9th Cir. 1963) (the requirement that
it must appear from the complaint that there is probable cause to believe an offense has
been committed and that defendant has committed it, applies whether a warrant or summons
is issued); see also Jaben v. United States, 381 U.S. 214, 219 (1965) ("Notice to a criminal
defendant is usually achieved by service upon him of the summons or arrest warrant provided
for in Rule 4. Neither is appropriate absent a judgment by the [magistrate judge] that the
complaint shows probable cause. . . .")

Rule 9 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure also hinges the issuance of a warrant or
summons on whether one or more affidavits accompanying the information establish probable
cause. Id. "Professor Wright has concluded that since a summons may issue "instead of a
warrant," and a warrant may issue only on a sworn information, then a summons may
issue only on a sworn information."
United States v. Millican, 600 F.2d 273, 276 (5th Cir. 1979), cert. denied, 445 U.S. 915 (1980),
quoting 1 Wright, Federal Practice and Procedure, § 151 at 342 (1969). "If a summons
could be issued on an information not supported by oath, and a warrant then issued for failure to
appear in response to the summons, the end result would be that defendant could be arrested on
warrant though there had never been a showing under oath of probable cause. This is not
permissible." Id.
Rule 58 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure also supports this court's conclusion
that a summons, like a warrant, must be supported by sworn statements. Id.
(3) Summons or Warrant. Upon an indictment, or upon a showing by one of the other charging
documents specified in Rule 58(b)(1) of probable cause to believe that an offense has been
committed and that the defendant has committed it, the court may issue an arrest warrant or, if
no warrant is requested by an attorney for the government, a summons. The showing of probable
cause must be made under oath or under penalty of perjury, but the affiant need not appear
before the court. If the defendant fails to appear before the court in response to a summons, the
court may summarily issue a warrant for the defendant's arrest.
Id. This rule specifically requires that the showing of probable cause, supported by facts asserted

under oath or penalty of perjury, is required whether a warrant or summons is issued. Id.

Finally, in the Speedy Trial Act context, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(b),courts have held that only a
court order based on a complaint supported by probable cause is a "summons" that triggers the
thirty day time limit; other documents hailing a defendant into court are not a "summons."
See e.g., United States v. Graef, 31 F.3d 362, 364 (6th Cir. 1994) (a violation of notice is not a
"summons" under the Speedy Trial Act because it is not issued in conjunction with a
"complaint," as defined by Fed.R.Crim.P. 3.)
Section 3161(b) provides as follows: "Any information or indictment charging an individual with
the commission of an offense shall be filed within thirty days from the date on which such
individual was arrested or served with a summons in connection with such charges. If an
individual has been charged with a felony in a district in which no grand jury has been in session
during such thirty-day period, the period of time for filing of the indictment shall be extended an
additional thirty days." Id.
There is no reason to invent a new meaning for the word "summons," when applying
18 U.S.C. § 3565(c). This court is required to follow the analysis used by the Ninth Circuit in
Vargas-Amaya when it interpreted the parallel statutory section, 18 U.S.C. § 3583(i). Because
this court's August 15, 2007 order was not based on probable cause supported by sworn
allegations, it was not a "summons" within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 3565(c), and therefore
this court no longer retains jurisdiction over the petition to revoke probation. Good cause
appearing, defendant's motion to dismiss will be granted and the petition to revoke probation will
be denied.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Plaintiff's August 1, 2007 petition to revoke probation is denied.
2. Defendant's October 4, 2007 motion to dismiss is granted.

RE:  ( 1 )  Magistrate Goodman's unlawful Order threatened to issue an unlawful arrest warrant on Thursday, Nov. 16, 2017, and,
        
        ( 2 )  Goodman's courtroom deputy, Ivannya Fitzgerald, blocked my phone call to Magistrate Goodman on Oct. 25, 2017
                 to unlawfully prolong the unlawful proceeding, in USA v RADIN, docket no: 17-mj-4519.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************

--Please find attached my EMERGENCY APPLICATION  to have this case stricken from the docket, and to stop Magistrate Goodman's threats.

--( 1 )  Magistrate Goodman cannot issue a warrant for my arrest on Nov. 16, 2017,  because:

             ( a ) she has no sworn statements on-the-record by "USMS Holland"  and,

             ( b ) because statements by Homeland Security Officer Mitchell are based on unsworn statements made to Mitchell  by  "Holland",  and,

             ( c ) because a possible "official source"  exception does not apply, as  both  "Holland"  and Mitchell broke the law  on August 10, 2017,
                     by arresting Me without a warrant, not bringing Me immediately before a judge, and not filing a Complaint based on facts sworn to
                     under oath or penalty of perjury within two days, all in violation of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the 4th and 5th 
                     amendments to the federal constitution, and U.S. Supreme Court rulings ( which are constitutional law ).

             ( d )  The fact that  "Holland"  and Mitchell broke the law on August 10, 2017  ( arrest without a warrant with no showing of probable 
                      cause ) was confirmed by:

                                        ( i )  Deputy U.S. Marshal Jerry Sanservino  ( I have his recorded statements ):  "...you were arrested...".
                                        ( ii )  AUSA Gribko's November 1, 2071, letter to Magistrate Goodman:  "  The Deputy then placed the defendant
                                                under arrest, "   page 1, last sentence, in paragraph two
                                        ( iii )  A review of the court records by the Supervisor of the Courtroom Deputies, and, 
                                         ( iv )  the court records, themselves.

-- ( 2 )  This case should have been over on October 25, 2017, but for the unlawful conduct of Goodman's courtroom deputy Ivannya Fitzgerald.

Ivannya Fitzgerald blocked my access to the Court on October 25m 2017, by refusing to put my phone through to Magistrate Goodman upon request.  I have Ivannya  Fizgerald's recorded statements.

-- ( 3 )  Accordingly, I demand federal witness protection.

--( 4 )  In addition, this email will serve as NOTICE   to  Courtroom Deputy  IVANNYA FITZGERALD of a non-judicial lien that I will place on her property should she continue to involve herself in my case(s) and/or otherwise continue to interfere with Me and my business.
       
Also, Courtroom Deputy  IVANNYA  FITZGERALD is personally liable to Me and to the United States government for all the harm and expenses incurred after October 25, 2017, as is dishonest federal prosecutor R. Joseph Gribko with whom Ivannya Fitzgerald conspired.

--( 5 )  The U.S. Marshal service and its agents are warned by this NOTICE  that should they act on Magistrate Goodman's unlawful and unconstitutional warrant for my arrest I will place non-judicial liens on their property, in addition to any other actions necessary to protect Myself and my witnesses.

--( 6 )  Scott Krasny is not and has never been my attorney.  I already asked the Court not to pay him.  In addtion, should Mr. Krasny continue to involve himself in my business, I will place a non-judicial liens on his property as well as seek to have him disbarred.

--( 7 )  This email is copied to U.S.Senator Grassley's office with a request that it be placed on the Congressional record and forwarded to the House Judiciary Committee, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Inspector General's Office at the DOJ, and Internal Affairs at the U.S. Marshal Service in Washington D.C.   in connection with complaints that certain federal judges and DOJ officials, employees, and their agents be removed from office, for cause.

--( 8 )  This email is copied to Sgt. Major Ronald L.Green's office with a request that it be forwarded to their legal department for constitutional violations in connection with reporting for immediate corrective action as per 18 USC section 4, reporting to any military officer.

Note:  These prosecutors lied in connection with the criminal prosecution against former U.S. Army Major John Jackson, to be detailed in other follow-up reports.
