United States of America v. Shafeeq Muhammad

Asheville, North Carolina criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846.



Defendant pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 190 months in prison, followed by four years of supervise rlease.



After his release from incarceration, the district court twice revoked Muhammad's supervised release for violating the conditions of his supervision. After the second revocation, the court imposed a 12-month term of supervised release, including a condition requiring Muhammad to spend the first six months of that term in a halfway house and

comply with the program's rules.





Shortly after his release, Muhammad's probation officer filed a petition for revocation of his supervised release for failing to complete six months in the halfway house and failing to notify his probation officer of a change in his address within 72 hours. Following a hearing, the district court found Muhammad had violated the terms of his

supervised release. The court revoked his supervised release and sentence Muhammad to 12 months and one day of imprisonment, with no further term of supervision to follow. Muhammad now appeals. On appeal, Muhammad argues that the district court abused its discretion in revoking his supervised release.
