United States Ninth Circuit

The district court's judgment revoking defendant's supervised release and the sentence imposed upon revocation is affirmed, where: 1) the provisions in Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.1 pertaining to initial appearances do not apply when a defendant is in custody on underlying criminal charges at the time the revocation proceedings are initiated; 2) the magistrate judge therefore did not err in failing to inform defendant of the allegations against him at the initial proceeding; 3) defendant was provided proper notice of the alleged supervised-release violation prior to his revocation hearing; and 4) the district court did not commit any procedural error at sentencing and the sentence was substantively reasonable.
