Criminal Law-Revocation of Supervised Release-Special Conditions of Release-Reasonableness of Sentence
Staff Report//February 25, 2026//
Defendant appealed the sentence imposed following the revocation of his supervised release, challenging the reasonableness of the sentence and arguing that the district court imposed an improper special condition of release.
Where the district court was not required to list all the statutory sentencing factors, it was not procedural error for the district court not to address each factor specifically, and it was reasonable to require defendant to comply with referrals for treatment issued by the probation office.
Judgment is affirmed.
