Imposing Supervised Release Contrary to All Parties' Request OK

U.S. v. Rodriguez, 2007 WL 841640 (3/21/07)(unpub'd) - The 10th affirms d.ct.'s refusal to grant the request of the defendant, government and probation office to give a longer prison sentence and no supervised release. Instead, d.ct. imposed 30 months of supervised release, saying: "I never lose hope... When you go to hell, then you lose all hope. I don't think he's there, so I don't lose hope."
