United States Seventh Circuit

In an appeal of a term of reimprisonment after a supervised release violation, the defense counsel's Anders motion asserting no nonfrivolous grounds for appeal is granted and the appeal dismissed where the panel: 1) adheres to the circuit's previous position that a sentence imposed after the revocation of supervised release can be set aside only if it is "plainly" unreasonable; and 2) adopts the narrow judicial review of the sanctions imposed by prison disciplinary boards as a review guideline for supervised release violation cases.
