7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: United States of America v. William Block
Case No.: 18-2128
Officials: BAUER, MANION, and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Sentencing – Jurisdiction
In April 2014, William Block completed a 75-month prison term and began a three-year term of supervised release. With a little more than two months left in that term, the Probation Office reported to the district court Block had violated release conditions. Over a year later, the district court conducted a hearing and revoked Block’s supervised release, sentencing him to 60 months’ imprisonment followed by two more years of supervised release. Block appeals, claiming the district court lacked jurisdiction to revoke his supervised release. We agree with Block and vacate the district court’s judgment.
