What is the standard of review on appeal for violation of supervised release?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United States v. Kinsey, No. 15-2317 (2nd Cir. 2016):

We examine the reasonableness of a sentence both for substance, "in light of the factors enumerated under 18 U.S.C. 3553(a)," and for "the procedures a district court employs in arriving at a sentence." United States v. Villafuerte, 502 F.3d 204, 206 (2d Cir. 2007). "The standard of review on the appeal of a sentence for violation of supervised release is . . . the same standard as for sentencing generally: whether the sentence imposed is reasonable." United States v. McNeil, 415 F.3d 273, 277 (2d Cir. 2005).
