Benner v. Van Norden

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• terminating supervised release for a habitual user of marijuana when continued supervision was unlikely to rehabilitate him
• dismissing plaintiff’s breach of contract claim because plaintiff’s theory was raised “for the first time in its opposition to [the defendant’s] motion to dismiss, and because parties cannot amend their complaints through their oppositions”
• “The term ‘revoke’ appears to be somewhat of a misnomer. . . . Supervised release is not being ‘revoked’; rather, a supervisee is being punished for violating conditions. . . .”
• discussing problems of longer than necessary terms of supervised release
