United States v. Williams, No. 15-11265 (5th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseAfter defendant pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and served his prison term, the probation office petitioned to revoke his supervised release for violating his release terms. Defendant had pleaded "true" to a Supervised Release Violation Report (SRVR) alleging that he possessed controlled substances, intentionally submitted invalid or diluted urine samples, and advised other addicts how to do the same. The court concluded that even if the district court violated defendant's due process right to confrontation by considering hearsay, the district court's consideration of the hearsay did not affect defendant's substantial rights. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
