United States Eleventh Circuit

In defendant's appeal from the revocation of his conditional release following his writing of letters threatening to kill several teenagers, the order is reversed where requiring defendant to refrain from writing threatening letters and revoking his discharge from a psychiatric hospital for the failure to comply with that condition exceeded the district court's authority under 18 U.S.C. section 4243(g).
