United States v. Wilson, No. 12-1881 (3d Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseWilson pleaded guilty to drug charges. The plea agreement included a waiver of his right to appeal or collaterally challenge his conviction and sentence except if the government appealed, the sentence exceeded statutory limits, or the sentence unreasonably exceeded the sentencing guideline range determined by the district court. Wilson was sentenced to 65 months’ imprisonment with six years of supervised release. The Third Circuit enforced the waiver and affirmed the sentence. In 2011, Wilson was released from prison and began supervised release. Three months later, his Probation Officer sought to modify the terms and conditions of his supervised release to include participation in a mental health program. The district court held a hearing and took testimony about a number of bizarre incidents and about Wilson’s grandiose ideas and acts of unconventional behavior. Wilson also testified. The court ordered that Wilson’s conditions of supervised release be modified to add the condition that he undergo a mental health assessment and, if necessary, participate in an approved mental health treatment program. The Third Circuit affirmed after finding that appeal was not barred by the waiver.
