JOHN JEROME CARTER,
Defendant-Appellant.

Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Alabama
________________________
(March 2, 2012)
Before TJOFLAT, BARKETT and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
This is an appeal under 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a) of the sentence the district court
imposed on John Jerome Carter after revoking his supervised release. The court
revoked the supervised release and sentenced Carter to a 30-months’ term of
imprisonment on finding that he had violated the conditions of his release by
having sexual intercourse with a 13-year old girl.
In United States v. Jones, 899 F.2d 1097, 1102 (11th Cir.1990), overruled
on other grounds by United States v. Morrill, 984 F.2d 1136 (11th Cir.1993), we
held that a district court, after imposing sentence, must give the parties an
opportunity to object to the court's ultimate findings of fact, conclusions of law,
and the manner in which the sentence is pronounced, and must elicit a full
articulation of the grounds upon which any objection is based. The district court
failed to elicit Carter’s objections as required by Jones in this case.1 Without a
statement of Carter’s objections, we cannot afford this appeal meaningful review.
The judgment of the district court is accordingly vacated and the case is
remanded for further proceedings.
SO ORDERED.
1
The court asked Carter if he had “[a]nything further?” This was inadequate to comply
with Jones’s mandate.
