Case Number: 
No. 16-1232
Decision Date: 
December 16, 2016
Federal District: 
C.D. Ill.
Holding: 
Affirmed

Record contained sufficient evidence to support Dist. Ct.’s determination that defendant had violated term his original supervised release, where Dist. Ct. found that defendant had committed Class A violation of said term arising out of incident in which defendant committed aggravated battery on fellow inmate. While defendant argued that no aggravated battery occurred arising out of said incident, Dist. Ct. could properly find that aggravated battery occurred and that said incident qualified as Class A violation, where record showed that defendant had battered said inmate while both were in county jail. Moreover, instant incident qualified as “crime of violence” under USSG. Also, defendant waived any objection with respect to duration of Dist. Ct.’s subsequently imposed three-year term of supervised release or any specific conditions of said release, where defendant had specifically indicated that three-year term would be appropriate and told Dist. Ct. he would withdraw any objections to suggested terms of his supervised release.
