U.S. v. Lee

Record contained sufficient evidence to support Dist. Ct.’s revocation of defendant’s term of supervised release, where said revocation was based on initial statements that defendant’s girlfriend gave to police officials and medical personnel that defendant had assaulted her with small souvenir baseball bat. While defendant argued that he was denied due process under both 5th Amendment and Rule 32.1 because precise crime that ultimately led to instant revocation was not cited in revocation petition, Ct. of Appeals rejected defendant’s proposed per se rule that would require such notice. Moreover, Ct. found that defendant had received adequate notice for purposes of his due process rights where instant revocation petition cited to specific police report that contained detailed allegations of assault that formed basis of instant revocation.
