   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1692
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Smith and Colloton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. Where a defendant has merely been served 
   with a summons, but had not yet appeared in court pursuant to that 
   summons, he has not been released under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 207 and a 
   failure to appear at a supervised release revocation hearing cannot create 
   a violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3146(a)(1). Here, defendant had not been 
   released under Chapter 207, an essential element of the crime to which he 
   pleaded guilty, and the district court erred in accepting his guilty plea 
   without establishing that there was an adequate factual basis for the 
   plea. Conviction and sentence vacated.
