Criminal Law: Supervised Release-Revocation Sentence-Substantive Reasonableness of Sentence

Staff Report//June 17, 2026//

Listen to this article

Defendant appealed the sentence imposed following the revocation of his supervised release, which included two consecutive 24-month terms of imprisonment, challenging the substantive reasonableness of the sentence.

Where the district court adequately balanced the mitigating and aggravating factors, including defendant’s pattern of criminal behavior and evident dangerousness, the court found no abuse of sentencing discretion.

Judgment is affirmed.
