What it's about
The dispute concerns how two federal supervised-release provisions work together when a violation requires revocation.
Question presented
Does 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e) govern sentences imposed after a finding of violations that trigger mandatory revocation under § 3583(g), and does § 3583(e) preclude the court from considering retribution for the supervised release violations?
