How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that courts imposing sentences for supervised release violations may consider a defendant’s breach of trust, and to a limited degree, the seriousness of his underlying violations and criminal history
  • holding, in agreement with Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits, that courts’ general sentencing discretion under 18 U.S.C. § 3584 authorizes district courts revoking supervised release to impose consecutive or concurrent sentences
  • explaining that the majority of circuits agree that “18 U.S.C. § 3584(a) controls and permits a district court to impose consecutive terms of imprisonment upon revocation of supervised release—even when the sentences for the underlying crimes ran concurrently”
  • deeming this argument “without merit” as “postrevocation penalties [are attributed] to the original conviction” (internal quotation marks and citations omitted)
  • affirming sentence upon revocation of supervised release that “exceed[ed] the initial sentence of imprisonment”
  • “A district court’s primary consideration in handing down a revocation sentence is the defendant’s breach of trust.”
