OPINION
_________________________
ALICE M. BATCHELDER, Circuit Judge. For violating the terms of his supervised
release a second time, the district court imposed upon Keita Jerrod Hayden a seven-month term
of incarceration followed by an eight-year term of supervised release. The district court imposed
mandatory and standard supervised-release conditions by reference and imposed special
conditions by orally pronouncing them at Hayden’s sentencing. Hayden challenges his
supervised-release term on two grounds: first, that it is longer than his statute of conviction
allows, and second, that the district court violated his right to be present at sentencing by
imposing the mandatory and standard conditions by reference. Because the district court did not
exceed the statutory-maximum term of supervised release and because it did provide Hayden
with sufficient notice of the conditions to satisfy due process, we affirm the judgment. |
