SENTENCING OF NONVIOLENT AND NONSERIOUS OFFENDERS; SENSE OF
CONGRESS
Section 239 of Pub. L. 98-473 provided that:
''Since, due to an impending crisis in prison overcrowding,
available Federal prison space must be treated as a scarce resource
in the sentencing of criminal defendants;
''Since, sentencing decisions should be designed to ensure that
prison resources are, first and foremost, reserved for those
violent and serious criminal offenders who pose the most dangerous
threat to society;
''Since, in cases of nonviolent and nonserious offenders, the
interests of society as a whole as well as individual victims of
crime can continue to be served through the imposition of
alternative sentences, such as restitution and community service;
''Since, in the two years preceding the enactment of sentencing
guidelines, Federal sentencing practice should ensure that scarce
prison resources are available to house violent and serious
criminal offenders by the increased use of restitution, community
service, and other alternative sentences in cases of nonviolent and
nonserious offenders: Now, therefore, be it
''Declared, That it is the sense of the Senate that in the two
years preceding the enactment of the sentencing guidelines, Federal
judges, in determining the particular sentence to be imposed,
consider -
''(1) the nature and circumstances of the offense and the
history and characteristics of the defendant;
''(2) the general appropriateness of imposing a sentence other
than imprisonment in cases in which the defendant has not been
convicted of a crime of violence or otherwise serious offense;
and
''(3) the general appropriateness of imposing a sentence of
imprisonment in cases in which the defendant has been convicted
of a crime of violence or otherwise serious offense.''

SUBCHAPTER A - GENERAL PROVISIONS
-HEAD-
Sec. 3552. Presentence reports
-STATUTE-
(a) Presentence Investigation and Report by Probation Officer. -
A United States probation officer shall make a presentence
investigation of a defendant that is required pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 32(c) of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure, and shall, before the imposition of sentence, report the
results of the investigation to the court.
(b) Presentence Study and Report by Bureau of Prisons. - If the
court, before or after its receipt of a report specified in
subsection (a) or (c), desires more information than is otherwise
available to it as a basis for determining the sentence to be
imposed on a defendant found guilty of a misdemeanor or felony, it
may order a study of the defendant. The study shall be conducted
in the local community by qualified consultants unless the
sentencing judge finds that there is a compelling reason for the
study to be done by the Bureau of Prisons or there are no adequate
professional resources available in the local community to perform
the study. The period of the study shall be no more than sixty
days. The order shall specify the additional information that the
court needs before determining the sentence to be imposed. Such an
order shall be treated for administrative purposes as a provisional
sentence of imprisonment for the maximum term authorized by section
3581(b) for the offense committed. The study shall inquire into
such matters as are specified by the court and any other matters
that the Bureau of Prisons or the professional consultants believe
are pertinent to the factors set forth in section 3553(a). The
period of the study may, in the discretion of the court, be
extended for an additional period of not more than sixty days. By
the expiration of the period of the study, or by the expiration of
any extension granted by the court, the United States marshal
shall, if the defendant is in custody, return the defendant to the
court for final sentencing. The Bureau of Prisons or the
professional consultants shall provide the court with a written
report of the pertinent results of the study and make to the court
whatever recommendations the Bureau or the consultants believe will
be helpful to a proper resolution of the case. The report shall
include recommendations of the Bureau or the consultants concerning
the guidelines and policy statements, promulgated by the Sentencing
Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(a), that they believe are
applicable to the defendant's case. After receiving the report and
the recommendations, the court shall proceed finally to sentence
the defendant in accordance with the sentencing alternatives and
procedures available under this chapter.
(c) Presentence Examination and Report by Psychiatric or
Psychological Examiners. - If the court, before or after its
receipt of a report specified in subsection (a) or (b) desires more
information than is otherwise available to it as a basis for
determining the mental condition of the defendant, the court may
order the same psychiatric or psychological examination and report
thereon as may be ordered under section 4244(b) of this title.
(d) Disclosure of Presentence Reports. - The court shall assure
that a report filed pursuant to this section is disclosed to the
defendant, the counsel for the defendant, and the attorney for the
Government at least ten days prior to the date set for sentencing,
unless this minimum period is waived by the defendant. The court
shall provide a copy of the presentence report to the attorney for
the Government to use in collecting an assessment, criminal fine,
forfeiture or restitution imposed.

SUBCHAPTER A - GENERAL PROVISIONS
-HEAD-
Sec. 3553. Imposition of a sentence
-STATUTE-
(a) Factors To Be Considered in Imposing a Sentence. - The court
shall impose a sentence sufficient, but not greater than necessary,
to comply with the purposes set forth in paragraph (2) of this
subsection. The court, in determining the particular sentence to
be imposed, shall consider -
(1) the nature and circumstances of the offense and the history
and characteristics of the defendant;
(2) the need for the sentence imposed -
(A) to reflect the seriousness of the offense, to promote
respect for the law, and to provide just punishment for the
offense;
(B) to afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct;
(C) to protect the public from further crimes of the
defendant; and
(D) to provide the defendant with needed educational or
vocational training, medical care, or other correctional
treatment in the most effective manner;
(3) the kinds of sentences available;
(4) the kinds of sentence and the sentencing range established
for -
(A) the applicable category of offense committed by the
applicable category of defendant as set forth in the guidelines
issued by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to section
994(a)(1) of title 28, United States Code, and that are in
effect on the date the defendant is sentenced; or
(B) in the case of a violation of probation or supervised
release, the applicable guidelines or policy statements issued
by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to section 994(a)(3) of
title 28, United States Code;
(5) any pertinent policy statement issued by the Sentencing
Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(a)(2) that is in effect on
the date the defendant is sentenced;
(6) the need to avoid unwarranted sentence disparities among
defendants with similar records who have been found guilty of
similar conduct; and
(7) the need to provide restitution to any victims of the
offense.
(b) Application of Guidelines in Imposing a Sentence. - The court
shall impose a sentence of the kind, and within the range, referred
to in subsection (a)(4) unless the court finds that there exists an
aggravating or mitigating circumstance of a kind, or to a degree,
not adequately taken into consideration by the Sentencing
Commission in formulating the guidelines that should result in a
sentence different from that described. In determining whether a
circumstance was adequately taken into consideration, the court
shall consider only the sentencing guidelines, policy statements,
and official commentary of the Sentencing Commission. In the
absence of an applicable sentencing guideline, the court shall
impose an appropriate sentence, having due regard for the purposes
set forth in subsection (a)(2). In the absence of an applicable
sentencing guideline in the case of an offense other than a petty
offense, the court shall also have due regard for the relationship
of the sentence imposed to sentences prescribed by guidelines
applicable to similar offenses and offenders, and to the applicable
policy statements of the Sentencing Commission.
(c) Statement of Reasons for Imposing a Sentence. - The court, at
the time of sentencing, shall state in open court the reasons for
its imposition of the particular sentence, and, if the sentence -
(1) is of the kind, and within the range, described in
subsection (a)(4), and that range exceeds 24 months, the reason
for imposing a sentence at a particular point within the range;
or
(2) is not of the kind, or is outside the range, described in
subsection (a)(4), the specific reason for the imposition of a
sentence different from that described.
If the court does not order restitution, or orders only partial
restitution, the court shall include in the statement the reason
therefor. The court shall provide a transcription or other
appropriate public record of the court's statement of reasons to
the Probation System, and, if the sentence includes a term of
imprisonment, to the Bureau of Prisons.
(d) Presentence Procedure for an Order of Notice. - Prior to
imposing an order of notice pursuant to section 3555, the court
shall give notice to the defendant and the Government that it is
considering imposing such an order. Upon motion of the defendant
or the Government, or on its own motion, the court shall -
(1) permit the defendant and the Government to submit
affidavits and written memoranda addressing matters relevant to
the imposition of such an order;
(2) afford counsel an opportunity in open court to address
orally the appropriateness of the imposition of such an order;
and
(3) include in its statement of reasons pursuant to subsection
(c) specific reasons underlying its determinations regarding the
nature of such an order.
Upon motion of the defendant or the Government, or on its own
motion, the court may in its discretion employ any additional
procedures that it concludes will not unduly complicate or prolong
the sentencing process.
(e) Limited Authority To Impose a Sentence Below a Statutory
Minimum. - Upon motion of the Government, the court shall have the
authority to impose a sentence below a level established by statute
as a minimum sentence so as to reflect a defendant's substantial
assistance in the investigation or prosecution of another person
who has committed an offense. Such sentence shall be imposed in
accordance with the guidelines and policy statements issued by the
Sentencing Commission pursuant to section 994 of title 28, United
States Code.
(f) Limitation on Applicability of Statutory Minimums in Certain
Cases. - Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in the case of
an offense under section 401, 404, or 406 of the Controlled
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 841, 844, 846) or section 1010 or 1013 of
the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act (21 U.S.C. 960,
963), the court shall impose a sentence pursuant to guidelines
promulgated by the United States Sentencing Commission under
section 994 of title 28 without regard to any statutory minimum
sentence, if the court finds at sentencing, after the Government
has been afforded the opportunity to make a recommendation, that -
(1) the defendant does not have more than 1 criminal history
point, as determined under the sentencing guidelines;
(2) the defendant did not use violence or credible threats of
violence or possess a firearm or other dangerous weapon (or
induce another participant to do so) in connection with the
offense;
(3) the offense did not result in death or serious bodily
injury to any person;
(4) the defendant was not an organizer, leader, manager, or
supervisor of others in the offense, as determined under the
sentencing guidelines and was not engaged in a continuing
criminal enterprise, as defined in section 408 of the Controlled
Substances Act; and
(5) not later than the time of the sentencing hearing, the
defendant has truthfully provided to the Government all
information and evidence the defendant has concerning the offense
or offenses that were part of the same course of conduct or of a
common scheme or plan, but the fact that the defendant has no
relevant or useful other information to provide or that the
Government is already aware of the information shall not preclude
a determination by the court that the defendant has complied with
this requirement.

defendant not commit another Federal, State, or local crime
during the term of probation;
(2) for a felony, that the defendant also abide by at least one
condition set forth in subsection (b)(2), (b)(3), or (b)(13),

of the other conditions set forth under subsection (b);
(3) for a felony, a misdemeanor, or an infraction, that the
defendant not unlawfully possess a controlled substance;
(4) for a domestic violence crime as defined in section 3561(b)
by a defendant convicted of such an offense for the first time
that the defendant attend a public, private, or private nonprofit

of the defendant;
(5) for a felony, a misdemeanor, or an infraction, that the
defendant refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance
and submit to one drug test within 15 days of release on
probation and at least 2 periodic drug tests thereafter (as

the defendant on probation, payment of the fine or adherence to the
court-established installment schedule shall be a condition of the
probation.
(b) Discretionary Conditions. - The court may provide, as further
conditions of a sentence of probation, to the extent that such
conditions are reasonably related to the factors set forth in

are reasonably necessary for the purposes indicated in section
3553(a)(2), that the defendant -

with whom the child is living;
(21) be ordered deported by a United States district court, or
United States magistrate judge, pursuant to a stipulation entered
into by the defendant and the United States under section
238(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, except that, in
the absence of a stipulation, the United States district court or
a United States magistrate judge, may order deportation as a
condition of probation, if, after notice and hearing pursuant to
such section, the Attorney General demonstrates by clear and
convincing evidence that the alien is deportable; or
(22) satisfy such other conditions as the court may impose.
(c) Modifications of Conditions. - The court may modify, reduce,
or enlarge the conditions of a sentence of probation at any time
prior to the expiration or termination of the term of probation,
pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure relating to the modification of probation and the
provisions applicable to the initial setting of the conditions of
probation.
(d) Written Statement of Conditions. - The court shall direct
that the probation officer provide the defendant with a written
statement that sets forth all the conditions to which the sentence
is subject, and that is sufficiently clear and specific to serve as
a guide for the defendant's conduct and for such supervision as is
required.
(e) Results of Drug Testing. - The results of a drug test
administered in accordance with subsection (a)(5) shall be subject
to confirmation only if the results are positive, the defendant is
subject to possible imprisonment for such failure, and either the
defendant denies the accuracy of such test or there is some other
reason to question the results of the test. A defendant who tests
positive may be detained pending verification of a positive drug
test result. A drug test confirmation shall be a urine drug test
confirmed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques or
such test as the Director of the Administrative Office of the
United States Courts after consultation with the Secretary of
Health and Human Services may determine to be of equivalent
accuracy. The court shall consider whether the availability of
appropriate substance abuse treatment programs, or an individual's
current or past participation in such programs, warrants an
exception in accordance with United States Sentencing Commission
guidelines from the rule of section 3565(b), when considering any
action against a defendant who fails a drug test administered in
accordance with subsection (a)(5).

-HEAD-
Sec. 3572. Imposition of a sentence of fine and related matters
-STATUTE-
(a) Factors To Be Considered. - In determining whether to impose
a fine, and the amount, time for payment, and method of payment of
a fine, the court shall consider, in addition to the factors set
forth in section 3553(a) -
(1) the defendant's income, earning capacity, and financial
resources;
(2) the burden that the fine will impose upon the defendant,
any person who is financially dependent on the defendant, or any
other person (including a government) that would be responsible
for the welfare of any person financially dependent on the
defendant, relative to the burden that alternative punishments
would impose;
(3) any pecuniary loss inflicted upon others as a result of the
offense;
(4) whether restitution is ordered or made and the amount of
such restitution;
(5) the need to deprive the defendant of illegally obtained
gains from the offense;
(6) the expected costs to the government of any imprisonment,
supervised release, or probation component of the sentence;
(7) whether the defendant can pass on to consumers or other
persons the expense of the fine; and
(8) if the defendant is an organization, the size of the
organization and any measure taken by the organization to
discipline any officer, director, employee, or agent of the
organization responsible for the offense and to prevent a
recurrence of such an offense.
(b) Fine Not to Impair Ability to Make Restitution. - If, as a
result of a conviction, the defendant has the obligation to make
restitution to a victim of the offense, other than the United
States, the court shall impose a fine or other monetary penalty
only to the extent that such fine or penalty will not impair the
ability of the defendant to make restitution.
(c) Effect of Finality of Judgment. - Notwithstanding the fact
that a sentence to pay a fine can subsequently be -
(1) modified or remitted under section 3573;
(2) corrected under rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure and section 3742; or
(3) appealed and modified under section 3742;
a judgment that includes such a sentence is a final judgment for
all other purposes.
(d) Time, Method of Payment, and Related Items. - (1) A person
sentenced to pay a fine or other monetary penalty, including
restitution, shall make such payment immediately, unless, in the
interest of justice, the court provides for payment on a date
certain or in installments. If the court provides for payment in
installments, the installments shall be in equal monthly payments
over the period provided by the court, unless the court establishes
another schedule.
(2) If the judgment, or, in the case of a restitution order, the
order, permits other than immediate payment, the length of time
over which scheduled payments will be made shall be set by the
court, but shall be the shortest time in which full payment can
reasonably be made.
(3) A judgment for a fine which permits payments in installments
shall include a requirement that the defendant will notify the
court of any material change in the defendant's economic
circumstances that might affect the defendant's ability to pay the
fine. Upon receipt of such notice the court may, on its own motion
or the motion of any party, adjust the payment schedule, or require
immediate payment in full, as the interests of justice require.
(e) Alternative Sentence Precluded. - At the time a defendant is
sentenced to pay a fine, the court may not impose an alternative
sentence to be carried out if the fine is not paid.
(f) Responsibility for Payment of Monetary Obligation Relating to
Organization. - If a sentence includes a fine, special assessment,
restitution or other monetary obligation (including interest) with
respect to an organization, each individual authorized to make
disbursements for the organization has a duty to pay the obligation
from assets of the organization. If such an obligation is imposed
on a director, officer, shareholder, employee, or agent of an
organization, payments may not be made, directly or indirectly,
from assets of the organization, unless the court finds that such
payment is expressly permissible under applicable State law.
(g) Security for Stayed Fine. - If a sentence imposing a fine is
stayed, the court shall, absent exceptional circumstances (as
determined by the court) -
(1) require the defendant to deposit, in the registry of the
district court, any amount of the fine that is due;
(2) require the defendant to provide a bond or other security
to ensure payment of the fine; or
(3) restrain the defendant from transferring or dissipating
assets.
(h) Delinquency. - A fine or payment of restitution is delinquent
if a payment is more than 30 days late.
(i) Default. - A fine or payment of restitution is in default if
a payment is delinquent for more than 90 days. Notwithstanding any
installment schedule, when a fine or payment of restitution is in
default, the entire amount of the fine or restitution is due within
30 days after notification of the default, subject to the
provisions of section 3613A.

Sec. 3582. Imposition of a sentence of imprisonment
-STATUTE-
(a) Factors To Be Considered in Imposing a Term of Imprisonment.
- The court, in determining whether to impose a term of
imprisonment, and, if a term of imprisonment is to be imposed, in
determining the length of the term, shall consider the factors set
forth in section 3553(a) to the extent that they are applicable,
recognizing that imprisonment is not an appropriate means of
promoting correction and rehabilitation. In determining whether to
make a recommendation concerning the type of prison facility
appropriate for the defendant, the court shall consider any
pertinent policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(a)(2).
(b) Effect of Finality of Judgment. - Notwithstanding the fact
that a sentence to imprisonment can subsequently be -
(1) modified pursuant to the provisions of subsection (c);
(2) corrected pursuant to the provisions of rule 35 of the
Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and section 3742; or
(3) appealed and modified, if outside the guideline range,
pursuant to the provisions of section 3742;
a judgment of conviction that includes such a sentence constitutes
a final judgment for all other purposes.
(c) Modification of an Imposed Term of Imprisonment. - The court
may not modify a term of imprisonment once it has been imposed
except that -
(1) in any case -
(A) the court, upon motion of the Director of the Bureau of
Prisons, may reduce the term of imprisonment (and may impose a
term of probation or supervised release with or without
conditions that does not exceed the unserved portion of the
original term of imprisonment), after considering the factors
set forth in section 3553(a) to the extent that they are
applicable, if it finds that -
(i) extraordinary and compelling reasons warrant such a
reduction; or
(ii) the defendant is at least 70 years of age, has served
at least 30 years in prison, pursuant to a sentence imposed
under section 3559(c), for the offense or offenses for which
the defendant is currently imprisoned, and a determination
has been made by the Director of the Bureau of Prisons that
the defendant is not a danger to the safety of any other
person or the community, as provided under section 3142(g);
and that such a reduction is consistent with applicable policy
statements issued by the Sentencing Commission; and
(B) the court may modify an imposed term of imprisonment to
the extent otherwise expressly permitted by statute or by Rule
35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure; and
(2) in the case of a defendant who has been sentenced to a term
of imprisonment based on a sentencing range that has subsequently
been lowered by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
994(o), upon motion of the defendant or the Director of the
Bureau of Prisons, or on its own motion, the court may reduce the
term of imprisonment, after considering the factors set forth in
section 3553(a) to the extent that they are applicable, if such a
reduction is consistent with applicable policy statements issued
by the Sentencing Commission.
(d) Inclusion of an Order To Limit Criminal Association of
Organized Crime and Drug Offenders. - The court, in imposing a
sentence to a term of imprisonment upon a defendant convicted of a
felony set forth in chapter 95 (racketeering) or 96 (racketeer
influenced and corrupt organizations) of this title or in the
Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (21
U.S.C. 801 et seq.), or at any time thereafter upon motion by the
Director of the Bureau of Prisons or a United States attorney, may
include as a part of the sentence an order that requires that the
defendant not associate or communicate with a specified person,
other than his attorney, upon a showing of probable cause to
believe that association or communication with such person is for
the purpose of enabling the defendant to control, manage, direct,
finance, or otherwise participate in an illegal enterprise.

Sec. 3583. Inclusion of a term of supervised release after
imprisonment
-STATUTE-
(a) In General. - The court, in imposing a sentence to a term of
imprisonment for a felony or a misdemeanor, may include as a part
of the sentence a requirement that the defendant be placed on a
term of supervised release after imprisonment, except that the
court shall include as a part of the sentence a requirement that
the defendant be placed on a term of supervised release if such a
term is required by statute or if the defendant has been convicted
for the first time of a domestic violence crime as defined in
section 3561(b).
(b) Authorized Terms of Supervised Release. - Except as otherwise
provided, the authorized terms of supervised release are -
(1) for a Class A or Class B felony, not more than five years;
(2) for a Class C or Class D felony, not more than three years;
and
(3) for a Class E felony, or for a misdemeanor (other than a
petty offense), not more than one year.
(c) Factors To Be Considered in Including a Term of Supervised
Release. - The court, in determining whether to include a term of
supervised release, and, if a term of supervised release is to be
included, in determining the length of the term and the conditions
of supervised release, shall consider the factors set forth in
section 3553(a)(1), (a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(C), (a)(2)(D), (a)(4),
(a)(5), (a)(6), and (a)(7).
(d) Conditions of Supervised Release. - The court shall order, as
an explicit condition of supervised release, that the defendant not
commit another Federal, State, or local crime during the term of
supervision and that the defendant not unlawfully possess a
controlled substance. The court shall order as an explicit
condition of supervised release for a defendant convicted for the
first time of a domestic violence crime as defined in section
3561(b) that the defendant attend a public, private, or private
nonprofit offender rehabilitation program that has been approved by
the court, in consultation with a State Coalition Against Domestic
Violence or other appropriate experts, if an approved program is
readily available within a 50-mile radius of the legal residence of
the defendant. The court shall order, as an explicit condition of
supervised release for a person described in section 4042(c)(4),
that the person report the address where the person will reside and
any subsequent change of residence to the probation officer
responsible for supervision, and that the person register in any
State where the person resides, is employed, carries on a vocation,
or is a student (as such terms are defined under section
170101(a)(3) of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act
of 1994). The court shall order, as an explicit condition of
supervised release, that the defendant cooperate in the collection
of a DNA sample from the defendant, if the collection of such a
sample is authorized pursuant to section 3 of the DNA Analysis
Backlog Elimination Act of 2000. The court shall also order, as an
explicit condition of supervised release, that the defendant
refrain from any unlawful use of a controlled substance and submit
to a drug test within 15 days of release on supervised release and
at least 2 periodic drug tests thereafter (as determined by the
court) for use of a controlled substance. The condition stated in
the preceding sentence may be ameliorated or suspended by the court
as provided in section 3563(a)(4). (FOOTNOTE 1) The results of a
drug test administered in accordance with the preceding subsection
shall be subject to confirmation only if the results are positive,
the defendant is subject to possible imprisonment for such failure,
and either the defendant denies the accuracy of such test or there
is some other reason to question the results of the test. A drug
test confirmation shall be a urine drug test confirmed using gas
chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques or such test as the
Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts
after consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services
may determine to be of equivalent accuracy. The court shall
consider whether the availability of appropriate substance abuse
treatment programs, or an individual's current or past
participation in such programs, warrants an exception in accordance
with United States Sentencing Commission guidelines from the rule
of section 3583(g) when considering any action against a defendant
who fails a drug test. The court may order, as a further condition
of supervised release, to the extent that such condition -
(FOOTNOTE 1) See References in Text note below.
(1) is reasonably related to the factors set forth in section
3553(a)(1), (a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(C), and (a)(2)(D);
(2) involves no greater deprivation of liberty than is
reasonably necessary for the purposes set forth in section
3553(a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(C), and (a)(2)(D); and
(3) is consistent with any pertinent policy statements issued
by the Sentencing Commission pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 994(a);
any condition set forth as a discretionary condition of probation
in section 3563(b)(1) through (b)(10) and (b)(12) through (b)(20),
(FOOTNOTE 1) and any other condition it considers to be
appropriate. If an alien defendant is subject to deportation, the
court may provide, as a condition of supervised release, that he be
deported and remain outside the United States, and may order that
he be delivered to a duly authorized immigration official for such
deportation.
(e) Modification of Conditions or Revocation. - The court may,
after considering the factors set forth in section 3553(a)(1),
(a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(C), (a)(2)(D), (a)(4), (a)(5), (a)(6), and (a)(7)
-
(1) terminate a term of supervised release and discharge the
defendant released at any time after the expiration of one year
of supervised release, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure relating to the modification of
probation, if it is satisfied that such action is warranted by
the conduct of the defendant released and the interest of
justice;
(2) extend a term of supervised release if less than the
maximum authorized term was previously imposed, and may modify,
reduce, or enlarge the conditions of supervised release, at any
time prior to the expiration or termination of the term of
supervised release, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure relating to the modification of
probation and the provisions applicable to the initial setting of
the terms and conditions of post-release supervision;
(3) revoke a term of supervised release, and require the
defendant to serve in prison all or part of the term of
supervised release authorized by statute for the offense that
resulted in such term of supervised release without credit for
time previously served on postrelease supervision, if the court,
pursuant to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure applicable to
revocation of probation or supervised release, finds by a
preponderance of the evidence that the defendant violated a
condition of supervised release, except that a defendant whose
term is revoked under this paragraph may not be required to serve
more than 5 years in prison if the offense that resulted in the
term of supervised release is a class A felony, more than 3 years
in prison if such offense is a class B felony, more than 2 years
in prison if such offense is a class C or D felony, or more than
one year in any other case; or
(4) order the defendant to remain at his place of residence
during nonworking hours and, if the court so directs, to have
compliance monitored by telephone or electronic signaling
devices, except that an order under this paragraph may be imposed
only as an alternative to incarceration.
(f) Written Statement of Conditions. - The court shall direct
that the probation officer provide the defendant with a written
statement that sets forth all the conditions to which the term of
supervised release is subject, and that is sufficiently clear and
specific to serve as a guide for the defendant's conduct and for
such supervision as is required.
(g) Mandatory Revocation for Possession of Controlled Substance
or Firearm or for Refusal To Comply With Drug Testing. - If the
defendant -
(1) possesses a controlled substance in violation of the
condition set forth in subsection (d);
(2) possesses a firearm, as such term is defined in section 921
of this title, in violation of Federal law, or otherwise violates
a condition of supervised release prohibiting the defendant from
possessing a firearm;
(3) refuses to comply with drug testing imposed as a condition
of supervised release; or
(4) as a part of drug testing, tests positive for illegal
controlled substances more than 3 times over the course of 1
year;
the court shall revoke the term of supervised release and require
the defendant to serve a term of imprisonment not to exceed the
maximum term of imprisonment authorized under subsection (e)(3).
(h) Supervised Release Following Revocation. - When a term of
supervised release is revoked and the defendant is required to
serve a term of imprisonment that is less than the maximum term of
imprisonment authorized under subsection (e)(3), the court may
include a requirement that the defendant be placed on a term of
supervised release after imprisonment. The length of such a term
of supervised release shall not exceed the term of supervised
release authorized by statute for the offense that resulted in the
original term of supervised release, less any term of imprisonment
that was imposed upon revocation of supervised release.
(i) Delayed Revocation. - The power of the court to revoke a term
of supervised release for violation of a condition of supervised
release, and to order the defendant to serve a term of imprisonment
and, subject to the limitations in subsection (h), a further term
of supervised release, extends beyond the expiration of the term of
supervised release for any period reasonably necessary for the
adjudication of matters arising before its expiration if, before
its expiration, a warrant or summons has been issued on the basis
of an allegation of such a violation.
(j) Supervised Release Terms for Terrorism Predicates. -
Notwithstanding subsection (b), the authorized term of supervised
release for any offense listed in section 2332b(g)(5)(B), the
commission of which resulted in, or created a foreseeable risk of,
death or serious bodily injury to another person, is any term of
years or life.

Sec. 3584. Multiple sentences of imprisonment
-STATUTE-
(a) Imposition of Concurrent or Consecutive Terms. - If multiple
terms of imprisonment are imposed on a defendant at the same time,
or if a term of imprisonment is imposed on a defendant who is
already subject to an undischarged term of imprisonment, the terms
may run concurrently or consecutively, except that the terms may
not run consecutively for an attempt and for another offense that
was the sole objective of the attempt. Multiple terms of
imprisonment imposed at the same time run concurrently unless the
court orders or the statute mandates that the terms are to run
consecutively. Multiple terms of imprisonment imposed at different
times run consecutively unless the court orders that the terms are
to run concurrently.
(b) Factors To Be Considered in Imposing Concurrent or
Consecutive Terms. - The court, in determining whether the terms
imposed are to be ordered to run concurrently or consecutively,
shall consider, as to each offense for which a term of imprisonment
is being imposed, the factors set forth in section 3553(a).
(c) Treatment of Multiple Sentence as an Aggregate. - Multiple
terms of imprisonment ordered to run consecutively or concurrently
shall be treated for administrative purposes as a single, aggregate
term of imprisonment.
