United States v. Hunter

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Hunter, 256 F. App'x 121 (9th Cir. 2007)

United States v. Hunter

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM **

Nigel Hunter appeals from the district court’s judgment revoking his supervised *122release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Hunter contends that his supervised release should not have been revoked because he attended a drug and alcohol relapse program at the direction of his probation officer, after his admitted use of alcohol. This argument fails because attending a treatment program after a supervised release violation does not preclude a subsequent revocation petition based upon that violation. See United States v. Shampang, 987 F.2d 1439, 1443-44 (9th Cir. 1993). Moreover, there is no indication that Hunter was misled or promised that supervised release would not be revoked if he attended the treatment program. Id.

AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
