term of 11 months in prison, with no term of supervision to follow, as requested by
the parties. The district court determined after a hearing that the government had
established by a preponderance of the evidence that Brown committed an assault and
violated a no-contact order, both in violation of the conditions of his supervised
release. Following our review of the proceedings, we conclude that the district court
did not commit clear error or abuse its discretion. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3)
(authorizing court to revoke term of supervised release if it finds by preponderance
of evidence that defendant violated condition of supervision); United States v. Black
Bear, 542 F.3d 249, 252 (8th Cir. 2008) (decision to revoke supervised release is
reviewed for abuse of discretion and subsidiary finding as to whether violation
occurred is reviewed for clear error).
The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
