Parole hearing continued for man with pending trial; attorney cites missing discovery
Summary
The Committee on Parole continued the revocation hearing for David Dozak, who faces misdemeanor charges set for trial Aug. 28, 2025; defense counsel said discovery requested from the DA had not been provided.
David Dozak, DOC number 589658, had his revocation proceeding continued Aug. 7, 2025, after his attorney said requested discovery from the district attorney’s office was not available and trial is set for Aug. 28, 2025.
Why this matters: The board routinely continues hearings when criminal matters are unresolved and defense counsel requests time to review discovery; a continuance keeps the parole status unchanged while the underlying criminal case proceeds.
Details from the hearing: Dozak pleaded not guilty to an alleged battery charge and the panel heard from his attorney, Matthew Foster, who said he had requested discovery twice and had none of the DA materials available to prepare full argument. The attorney asked for a continuance to allow counsel to obtain the file and, if possible, seek dismissal. The panel went into executive session to consider the request and returned to record a vote to continue pending the criminal trial, which is set for Aug. 28, 2025. A supporter, Crystal Green, spoke in Dozak’s favor at the hearing and described events differently than the arrest affidavit.
Next steps: The panel continued the matter; the transcript shows the board will revisit Dozak’s supervision status after resolution of the pending charges or at a future hearing.
