Annotate this CaseDefendant-appellant Sandra Rivera violated the conditions of her supervised release.

Rivera appealed her revocation sentence, arguing that the district court relied upon improper considerations when it imposed it. Because Rivera has not satisfied the fourth prong of the plain-error standard, the Fifth Circuit affirmed.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on August 7, 2015.
