How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that the Hague Convention principles are applicable only to those countries that have signed the Convention and thereby agreed to abide by its terms
• noting that the defendant and his wife “did not ... divorce or become legally separated” and that “[n]o formal custody arrangement was made”
• finding that defendant forfeited one of his constitutional arguments by failing to raise it before the District Court
• explaining that supervised release is “part of the whole matrix of punishment 24 which arises out of a defendant’s original crime” (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)
• explaining that no double jeopardy violation would occur where a defendant’s supervised release was revoked for violating a special condition prohibiting conduct similar to that for which the defendant was convicted
• reasoning that “although there might be room for argument as to whether foreign children who were merely visiting the United States on a week-long vacation would be protected by the [IPKCA],” the statute plainly protected children who had spent long stretches of time in the United States
