United States v. Breland, Jr., No. 10-60610 (5th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CaseDefendant appealed convictions stemming from his fraudulent application to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for disaster-relief benefits following Hurricane Katrina. At issue was whether the district court could consider defendant's rehabilitative needs when revoking his supervised release and could require him to serve the remainder of his sentence in prison. The court held that because the plain language and operation of 18 U.S.C. 3583(e) and (g), which governed post-revocation sentencing, permitted the consideration of rehabilitative needs, and because defendant's sentence was not otherwise unreasonable, the court affirmed the judgment.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on March 5, 2012.
