U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
United States v. Branch
September 8, 2026
Summary
The Second Circuit affirmed the district court's judgment revoking supervised release and imposing a two‑year prison term and one‑year supervised release on Tiante Branch. The court held that the sentence was not substantively unreasonable and that the imposition of thirteen standard supervised‑release conditions via reference to General Order #23 satisfied due‑process requirements. Both holdings were based on the court's deferential abuse‑of‑discretion standard and on precedent that a written list of standard conditions suffices without oral pronouncement.
