192420P.pdf 07/14/2020 United States v. Kenton Eagle Chasing
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-2420
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Pierre
[PUBLISHED] [Kobes, Author, with Gruender and Wollman, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The district court had
jurisdiction over this probation revocation proceeding under 18 U.S.C.
Sec. 3583, and the court would not consider defendant's argument that the
location of his 2002 offense deprived the court of jurisdiction at his
original prosecution; revocation of supervised release without a jury
trial does not violate defendant's constitutional rights under the Sixth
Amendment; the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
defendant's motion for recusal; the evidence was sufficient to show
defendant violated the terms of his supervised release by failing to
reside at his residential re-entry center and by eluding the police; even
if defendant did not, on these facts, elude Tribal Police, the error in
finding the violation did not affect defendant's sentence and was
harmless; the court committed no procedural error in determining
defendant's revocation sentence, and the sentence was not substantively
unreasonable.
