Criminal Court
Supervised Release
Citation
Case Number: 
No. 10-2832
Decision Date: 
January 25, 2011
Federal District: 
S.D. Ill.
Holding: 
Remanded
Dist. Ct. erred in denying without explanation defendant's motion to terminate remaining portion of defendant's supervised release. Record failed to indicate that Dist. Ct. gave any consideration to section 3553(a) factors where Dist Ct. merely stated that it had reviewed defendant's motion. Moreover, Dist. Ct. labored under misperception that early termination was available only for those defendants who had less than 12 months left on their terms of supervised release.
