UNITED STATES v. BECK (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.

UNITED STATES of America v. Keith BECK, Appellant

No. 17-1709

Decided: January 26, 2018

Before: AMBRO, RESTREPO, and FUENTES, Circuit Judges

Rebecca R. Haywood, Esq., Laura S. Irwin, Esq., Office of United States Attorney, Pittsburgh, PA, for Plaintiff-Appellee Steven C. Townsend, Esq., Eddy DeLuca Gravina & Townsend, Pittsburgh, PA, for Defendant-Appellant

OPINION *

The Government met its burden of proving Beck violated the conditions of release on the basis of the positive drug test on January 11, 2017. See U.S.S.G. § 7B1.1. That test was listed on the Government’s pre-hearing petition, thus any further notice deficiencies cannot amount to clear error for lack of prejudice. See United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 734, 113 S.Ct. 1770, 123 L.Ed.2d 508 (1993). The District Court’s judgment revoking Beck’s supervised release is affirmed.

AMBRO, Circuit Judge
