United States v. Colon-De Jesus, No. 21-1528 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed Defendant's twenty-four-month sentence for violating conditions of his supervised release, holding that the sentence was neither procedurally nor substantively unreasonable.
In 2014, Defendant pleaded guilty to being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm and was sentenced to sixty months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. After Defendant reentered the community on supervised release he was arrested on firearms charges. The new arrest triggered revocation proceedings in his supervised release case. After a final revocation hearing, the district court found that Defendant violated the conditions of his supervised release and sentenced him to twenty-four months' imprisonment. The First Circuit affirmed, holding (1) Defendant was not entitled to relief on his claims of procedural error; and (2) Defendant's sentence was substantively reasonable.
