United States v. Frederick Jones

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION OCT 15 2013 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 13-10020 Plaintiff - Appellee, D.C. No. 2:03-cr-00495-PMP-RJJ- 1 v. FREDERICK ANDREW JONES, MEMORANDUM* Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Philip M. Pro, Senior District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted October 9, 2013 San Francisco, California Before: D.W. NELSON, M. SMITH, and IKUTA, Circuit Judges. Frederick Jones appeals the district court’s judgment revoking his supervised release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a)(1). * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. The district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that Jones violated a condition of his supervised release by committing a battery in violation of Nev. Rev. Stat. § 33.018. The testimony from the victim and the probation officer, taken in the light most favorable to the government, established by a preponderance of the evidence that Jones’ conduct constituted a “willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another.” Id. § 200.481(1)(a); see also United States v. King, 608 F.3d 1122, 1129 (9th Cir. 2010). The petition for revocation provided Jones with sufficient notice of the charge against him. Fed. R. Crim. P. 32.1(b)(2). AFFIRMED. 2
