United States Eighth Circuit

Revocation of defendant's supervised release and a resultant sentence are affirmed where: 1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in the revocation as it did not clearly err in finding that he violated the conditions of his supervised release by committing an assault under state law; 2) the revocation sentence was proper as 18 U.S.C. section 3583(b)'s 3-year maximum term of supervised release did not apply in this case; and 3) the sentence was not unreasonable.
