U.S. v. Ford

Dist. Ct. did not err in finding in revocation hearing that defendant violated terms of his supervised release (that had been imposed on his drug conviction) by committing battery, where three witnesses including alleged victim testified at hearing, and where alleged victim, who identified defendant as culprit from photo array, stated that defendant barged into his apartment and beat him. Defendant waived any argument that govt. improperly introduced into evidence police report containing statements made by third-party, where defense counsel expressly stated that he had no objection to introduction of police report into evidence, and where defense counsel used said statements in attempt to impeach alleged victim. Also, Dist. Ct. could properly impose 36-month prison sentence as result of said revocation where maximum sentence that Dist. Ct. could have imposed was five years, which equaled maximum term of supervised release that could have been imposed as part of defendant's original sentence on his drug conviction.
