Rico v. United States · ¶10

The Ninth Circuit disagreed. Without question, Ms. Rico's supervised release term was set to expire in June 2021 by court order. But, the Ninth Circuit reasoned, Ms. Rico's abscondment “tolled” the clock so that her term continued to run until federal authorities caught up with her in 2023. Id., at 3a. As a result, her January 2022 drug offense occurred while she was on supervised release. And because of that, the district court could treat that offense as a violation and revoke her supervised release based upon it. Ibid.
