7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. Charles D. St. Clair
Case No.: 18-1933
Officials: KANNE, HAMILTON, and ST. EVE, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Sentencing – Supervised Release
Defendant-appellant Charles D. St. Clair admitted that he violated several conditions of his supervised release. The district court revoked his release and sentenced him to another term of imprisonment, followed by an additional term of supervised release. St. Clair appeals the conditions for the new term of supervised release. He argues first that the district court failed to justify the twelve discretionary conditions it ordered. He also argues that the court violated his due process rights by imposing a vague condition based on a superseded version of the Sentencing Guidelines.
We affirm. St. Clair waived his right to challenge his supervised release conditions at his revocation hearing when he (1) acknowledged that he received prior notice of the proposed conditions and discussed them with counsel, and then (2) told the judge that he had no objections to or questions about them when asked.
