# United States v. Hale

## Holdings used

- Section 3583(e)(1) does not make exceptionally good behavior an absolute prerequisite to early termination.

## Material limitation

Binding only in the Sixth Circuit and only for the bounded procedural postures in the linked claims. Official published opinion reviewed. The panel corrected earlier unpublished threshold language, but did not make ordinary compliance sufficient or prescribe the result on remand; no reporter citation was located in the bounded review. A comprehensive commercial citator was not run.
