United States v. John Jerome Carter
Opinion
This is an appeal under 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a) of the sentence the district court imposed on John Jerome Carter after re- *871 yoking his supervised release. The court revoked the supervised release and sentenced Carter to a 30-months’ term of imprisonment on finding that he had violated the conditions of his release by having sexual intercourse with a 13-year old girl.
In United States v. Jones, 899 F.2d 1097, 1102 (11th Cir. 1990), overruled on other grounds by United States v. Morrill, 984 F.2d 1136 (11th Cir. 1993), we held that a district court, after imposing sentence, must give the parties an opportunity to object to the court’s ultimate findings of fact, conclusions of law, and the manner in which the sentence is pronounced, and must elicit a full articulation of the grounds upon which any objection is based. The district court failed to elicit Carter’s objections as required by Jones in this case. 1 Without a statement of Carter’s objections, we cannot afford this appeal meaningful review. The judgment of the district court is accordingly vacated and the ease is remanded for further proceedings.
SO ORDERED.
. The court asked Carter if he had "[a]nything further?” This was inadequate to comply with Jones's mandate.
