Rico v. United States · ¶21

The quantity of all these instructions has a quality of its own, too. Cumulatively, the Act details how long supervised release may run, the tools courts can use to address defendants who fail to report or commit other violations, when courts may extend and toll terms of supervised release, and how they can go about addressing violations even after a term of supervised release has expired. To our eyes, the absence of anything like the Ninth Circuit's rule in all these exacting instructions is striking and strongly suggestive that the Ninth Circuit's rule more nearly represents an adornment to Congress's work than a permissible interpretation of it.
