Focus: Pleas & Sentencing – Supervised Release

Court committed no error requiring a remand where defense was given ample opportunity to dispute conditions of supervised release and elected not to do so.

“After providing those explanations, the court asked: “Counsel, do you have any legal objection to the sentence I have proposed or request any further elaboration of my rea‐ sons under Section 3553(a) both as to the term of imprisonment or the conditions of supervised release?” Both the prosecutor and the defense lawyer said “no.” The court then said it would order sentence imposed as stated. App. 25.”
