United States v. Hull

by
Defendant-Appellant Keith Howard Hull challenged one of the conditions of supervised release imposed by the district court when it sentenced him for committing bank robbery. The condition required him to notify third parties of risks he could pose to them. According to Hull, the condition was unconstitutionally vague, an unconstitutional delegation of judicial authority, and an unlawful occupational restriction. Specifically, Hull argued the condition was vague because it did not provide his probation officer with sufficient guidance to determine the sort of risks that triggered application of the condition. The Tenth Circuit concluded this argument failed: sufficient guidance was given by the district court at sentencing. Accordingly, the Tenth Circuit affirmed Hull's sentence. View "United States v.
