United States v. Ruiz-Valle, No. 21-1937 (1st Cir. 2023)
Annotate this Case
The First Circuit affirmed the sentence of reimprisonment imposed upon the fourth revocation of Appellant's supervised release but vacated the subsequent term of supervised release to follow, holding that the district court erred in imposing additional supervised release.
Appellant pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1), 924(a)(2). After he was initially released from prison, Appellant violated the terms his supervised release, and his supervised release was revoked. Thereafter, Appellant three times more violated the terms of his supervised release. In the latest revocation, the district court imposed the statutory maximum sentence of two years' imprisonment, followed by one additional year of supervised release. The First Circuit vacated the judgment in part, holding (1) Appellant did not preserve any argument regarding the district court's sentence of imprisonment under 18 U.S.C. 3583(e)(3); and (2) the district court erred under 18 U.S.C. 3583(h) by imposing additional supervision.
