U.S. v. WILLIAMS

No. 12-30353.

741 F.3d 1057 (2014)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Kenneth Maynard WILLIAMS, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Filed February 3, 2014.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Alison K. Guernsey (argued), Assistant Federal Defender of Eastern Washington & Idaho, Yakima, WA, for Defendant-Appellant.

Alexander C. Ekstrom (argued), Assistant United States Attorney, United States Attorneys' Office, Eastern District of Washington, Yakima, WA, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Before: M. MARGARET McKEOWN and RICHARD R. CLIFTON, Circuit Judges, and JED S. RAKOFF, Senior District Judge.

OPINION

RAKOFF, Senior District Judge:

The narrow legal question presented by this appeal is whether a defendant's Alford plea to a state charge is sufficient in itself to warrant a finding of violation of the condition of federal supervised release prohibiting commission of a new state crime when the state itself does not treat the Alford plea as evidence of commission of the crime. We hold that it is insufficient.
