United States First Circuit

Sentence for failure to appear in court as part of a supervised release revocation hearing is affirmed where the district court correctly determined that the relevant punishment is the period of incarceration available for the underlying offense which led to the imposition of the supervised release condition, rather than the period of incarceration available for the supervised release violation.
