Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 6:03-CR-43-ALL
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, STEWART, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Michael Lynn Coates raises
arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Hinson, 429 F.3d 114, 119 (5th
Cir. 2005), which held that a defendant is not entitled to a jury trial to determine
whether the terms of supervised release have been violated. The Government’s
motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district
court is AFFIRMED.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion
should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
