031333P.pdf   08/24/2004  United States  v.  Thomas Palmer
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-1333
   Northern District of Iowa   
   Criminal Case - supervised release. Defendant was sentenced to 27 
   months imprisonment and 36 months supervised release; following 
   revocation of his supervised release, defendant was sentenced to 12 
   months imprisonment and 36 months supervised release. United States v. 
   St. John, 92 F.3d 761 (8th Cir. 1996) is overruled. The term of supervised 
   release imposed upon revocation of supervised release may not exceed 
   the statutorily authorized term, not just the term of supervised release 
   initially imposed by the district court. The sentence imposed by the 
   district court is affirmed. [PUBLISHED] [En Banc decision] [Wollman,

031333U.pdf   10/14/2003  United States  v.  Thomas Palmer
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-1333
   Northern District of Iowa   
   Criminal Case - revocation of supervised release. In reliance on 
   United States v. St. John, additional term of supervised release 
   following revocation is capped at the length of the original 
   supervised-release term and thus case is remanded with instructions to 
   reduce revocation sentence. Judge Riley concurs.
