Supreme Court of the United States

Johnson v. United States — Kennedy, J., concurring

May 15, 2000529 U.S. 694

Summary

Justice Kennedy, concurring in part, agrees that 18 U.S.C. §3583(e)(3) permits a trial court to impose additional incarceration and a subsequent period of supervised release after revoking a prior term, but cautions against extending a term under §3583(e)(2) and critiques the majority’s dicta on §3583(a). The opinion is joined by a dissent from Justice Scalia and a separate concurrence from Justice Thomas.
