The following excerpt is from United States v. Chatman, No. 13-1119-cr (2nd Cir. 2014):
We review a district court's finding that a defendant has violated conditions of supervised release for abuse of discretion, and its factual findings for clear error. United States v. Glenn, 744 F.3d 845, 847 (2d Cir. 2014). A district court may revoke a term of supervised release if it "finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant violated a condition of supervised release." 18 U.S.C. 3583(e)(3).
