United States v. Joseph Veselko

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
United States v. Joseph Veselko, 497 F. App'x 669 (8th Cir. 2013)

United States v. Joseph Veselko

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

While Joseph Veselko was serving a period of supervised release following release from imprisonment on a federal drug conviction, the district court 1 found that Ves-elko had violated his supervised release by tampering with an electronic monitoring bracelet that he was required to wear during a period of home detention. The court revoked supervised release, and imposed a revocation sentence consisting of imprisonment and additional supervised release. Veselko appeals, arguing the court erred in finding that he violated his supervised release.

Upon careful review of the evidence presented by the government at the revocation hearing, we conclude the district court did not clearly err in finding that Veselko intentionally tampered with his electronic monitoring bracelet. See United States v. Sistrunk, 612 F.3d 988, 991 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We also grant counsel’s motion for leave to withdraw.

. The Honorable John A. Jarvey, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
