United States Eleventh Circuit

Defendant's sentence for violating the terms of his supervised release is affirmed where, although defendant already served Florida's statutory maximum of five years in prison, the Assimilative Crimes Act's "like punishment" clause did not prohibit the court from sentencing him to an additional 24 months of imprisonment.
