United States Second Circuit

Sentence for conviction of violating for the second time the conditions of defendant's supervised release by associating with a convicted felon is vacated and remanded for resentencing on procedural and substantive reasonableness grounds, where the above-Guideline sentence eighteen months' imprisonment and three additional years' supervised release for speaking to a fellow member of the treatment group in the subway following a treatment session, without more, seems exceedingly harsh.
