United States v. Montoya Jordan

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
United States v. Montoya Jordan, 581 F. App'x 407 (5th Cir. 2014)

United States v. Montoya Jordan

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

The judgment of the district court is affirmed for the following reason.

The term of supervised release was revoked as provided by law. Jordan claims *408 the court lost jurisdiction to do so because the term had expired before the warrant was issued. The statute, 18 U.S.C. § 358S(i), states that the power of the court extends for any period necessary for adjudication if “before its expiration, a warrant or summons has issued.” This warrant was issued on October 2, and the supervised release term ended the following day. Jordan complains that the clerk signed the warrant and not the judge. The clerk did sign it at the direction of the judge. Nothing more was required. The warrant was issued as the statute required.

AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be *408 published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
