Every decision we've filed under Supervised Release.
The Third Circuit affirmed Omoyoma Okoro's fraud convictions, rejecting his claims regarding the denial of remote testimony from a co-conspirator and the sufficiency of the evidence. The court held that the defense failed to comply with the District Court's specific conditions for remote testimony and found the jury verdict supported by substantial evidence.
The Eighth Circuit affirmed the sentence imposed on Kenneth Moore for being a felon in possession of a firearm. The court granted counsel leave to withdraw after finding no non-frivolous issues for appeal.
The Seventh Circuit granted appointed counsel's motion to withdraw, finding the defendant's appeal regarding the revocation of his supervised release to be frivolous. The court affirmed the district court's decision because the defendant waived key objections and the evidence supported the finding of domestic battery.
The First Circuit affirmed Keion Rowell's conviction for sex trafficking of a minor, rejecting his Fourth Amendment challenge to a warrantless police entry. The court also dismissed claims regarding courtroom sealing, evidence admission, and alternate jurors, finding no reversible error in any instance.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed the denial of Monisha Rhodes's motion for compassionate release, ruling that statutory sentencing factors weighed against relief despite her caregiving circumstances. The court held that the district court properly considered her extensive criminal history and the need to protect the public from further crimes.
The Ninth Circuit affirmed a district court's supervised release conditions, rejecting claims that a prohibition on loitering in prostitution areas was unconstitutionally vague. The court also upheld a condition requiring sex offender treatment, finding the delegation of authority to a treatment provider to determine necessity was constitutionally permissible.
The Seventh Circuit affirmed the revocation of Erik Harbin's supervised release and his 15-month prison sentence, rejecting his claim that the district court improperly relied on his original offense's seriousness. The court held that the district judge's references to the original crime were permissible context for a breach-of-trust rationale rather than prohibited retribution.
The First Circuit affirmed the revocation of Antonio Camillo's supervised release following a state vandalism conviction. The court held that the district court properly relied on corroborated hearsay and found sufficient evidence of malice and property damage.
The First Circuit affirmed the convictions of a Massachusetts pizzeria owner for forced labor, ruling that a pattern of physical abuse and threats of deportation against undocumented workers satisfied the statutory elements of coercion. The court also upheld the defendant's 102-month sentence, rejecting challenges to evidentiary rulings and sentencing enhancements.
The First Circuit affirmed a ninety-six-month sentence for possessing machine guns and being a felon in possession of firearms, rejecting the defendant's claim that the district court failed to adequately explain an upward variance. The court held that the district court provided a plausible rationale based on the severity of the offenses, the defendant's criminal history, and the specific circumstances of the arrest.
