Criminal Court
Supervised Release
Citation
Case Number: 
No. 17-3350
Decision Date: 
November 26, 2018
Federal District: 
N.D. Ill., E. Div.
Holding: 
Vacated and remanded

Dist. Ct. erred in imposing in written order condition of supervised release that required defendant to notify probation officer within 72 hours of being arrested or being questioned by law enforcement officer, where Dist. Ct. had not orally announced said condition at prior sentencing hearing, since sentence announced from bench controls whenever inconsistency exists between oral and written sentence. Moreover, appropriate remedy was simple remand with direction to issue corrected judgment without inclusion of said condition, as opposed to new sentencing hearing, where both defendant and govt. did not request new sentencing hearing.
