UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee v. Carolyn BOEHM-MCCAULEY, Defendant-Appellant
Carolyn Boehm-McCauley (McCauley) seeks to appeal the denial of her motion, brought under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(2), to modify a condition of supervised release that prohibits her from associating with convicted felons. She argues that she should be allowed to associate with her close friend Steven William Douglas, a convicted felon who was involved with the wire fraud crime for which McCauley is currently on supervised release. The Government moves for summary dismissal.
McCauley’s plea agreement contained a broad waiver of appeal that bars her appeal from the denial of the § 3583(e)(2) motion. See United States v. Scallon, 683 F.3d 680, 683-84 (5th Cir. 2012). Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary dismissal is GRANTED, and the appeal is DISMISSED. The Government’s alternative motion for additional time for briefing is DENIED AS MOOT.
