042869P.pdf   08/18/2005  USA  v.  Dominick Nace
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  04-2869
   Northern District of Iowa   
[PUBLISHED] [M. Arnold, Author, with Loken, Chief Judge, and Murphy, District Judge] Criminal case - criminal law. District court's decision to base the imposition of defendant's revocation prison sentence at least in part on defendant's failure to ask his probation officer for help with his drug problem did not violate defendant's right against self-incrimination; general tenor of the court's comments showed a concern that defendant was not actively participating in treatment and rehabilitation, and the court's sentence was based on defendant's history and characteristics and his need for medical and correctional treatment, all of which factors are proper factors for consideration under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3553(a) when imposing a sentence upon revocation of supervised release. Judge Murphy, concurring.
