DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe revoked July 9 a court order of non-compliance after the prosecution realized that a defendant has been fully compliant.

Mark Franklin was convicted of attempted threats to do bodily harm on Feb. 3. He was sentenced to 115 days in jail, which was suspended. He was also sentenced to one year on probation. 

 According to an officer from the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA), the defendant has been providing up to date mental health assessments and contact information.

Franklin received a notice of non-compliance on May 26 as well. 

Judge O’Keefe asked Franklin to “please stay in compliance so you don’t face jail time.”

The defendant has no further hearings scheduled at this time.
