7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Mitrel Y. Anderson, et al.

Case No.: 18-1870; 18-3096

Officials: HAMILTON, BRENNAN, and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing – Supervised Release

We have before us criminal defendants contending for the first time on appeal that a condition of their terms of supervised release is unconstitutionally vague. We have seen scores of similar appeals in the last six years. And in a series of recent opinions, we have held—in no uncertain terms—that a defendant who receives an opportunity to object to a proposed condition of supervised release at sentencing but fails to do so waives his objection. That binding precedent is the law of the Circuit. It resolves these appeals, so we affirm.
