Description:
Nashville, Tennessee criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant seeking early termination of supervised release.
In 2010, John Hale pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual battery by unlawful sexual
contact. He was sentenced in Tennessee state court to eight years of imprisonment and lifetime
supervision. As a result of his conviction, Hale was required to register as a sex offender in
Tennessee. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-39-203; see also 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a).
Hale moved for early termination of supervised release four years and four months into his ten-year term of supervision. The district court denied his motion.
In United States v. Atkin, we stated that "[e]arly termination of supervised release is a
discretionary decision that is only warranted in cases where the defendant shows changed
circumstances—such as exceptionally good behavior. 28 F.App'x 196 (6th Cir. 2002).
