                   RETIREMENT OF STEVEN NIAMONITAKIS

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. DANIEL M. DONOVAN, JR.

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 10, 2018

  Mr. DONOVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Steven Niamonitakis 
for his outstanding career in the United States Marshals Service 
(USMS).
   As a graduate of John Jay Criminal College, Steven always knew that 
he wanted to serve in law enforcement. Entering the Service in June 
1988, he started his career as a Deputy U.S. Marshal in the Eastern 
District of New York. He would go on to serve his entire career in the 
Eastern District. During his 30-year career, Steven has seen and done 
it all. From transporting and processing prisoners to arresting 
fugitives and handling international extraditions, he became one of the 
most experienced Marshals in the USMS.
   Some of Steven's career highlights include his service on the John 
Gotti trial and the court hearings for Juan ``El Chapo'' Guzman. 
Furthermore, he was a valued investigator in High Intensity Drug 
Trafficking Areas, and his assistance has been vital to combatting the 
scourge of drugs that have infected countless lives. Additionally, 
Steven has been crucial in battling copyright violations of movies by 
securing numerous assets involved in these crimes. As his long career 
comes to an end, I am certain that Steven will enjoy spending his 
retirement with the people he loves most: his wife, Alane, and his two 
daughters.
   Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate Steven Niamonitakis on his 
tremendous career in law enforcement. Due to people like him, our 
nation is safe, strong, and secure. I am grateful for his service and 
wish him a very enjoyable retirement.
