United States v. Ward

Defendant appealed his sentence for violating the conditions of his supervised release. Defendant was sentenced to 20 months' imprisonment, the mandatory minimum term required by a former version of the supervised release statute, 18 U.S.C. 3583(g). The court concluded that the district court correctly applied the former version of Section 3583(g), because that version of the statute was in effect when defendant committed the underlying crimes; Alleyne v. United States does not apply in the context of supervised release revocation proceedings; and, therefore, the court affirmed the district court's sentence. View "United States v. Ward" on Justia Law
