U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

United States v. Jerid Hinz

August 13, 2026

Summary

The court held that the district court did not violate Hinz's due-process right to be sentenced on accurate information because the record showed that it relied on admitted violations and reliable information about his history, not disputed gun-related allegations. The court also held that the district court lacked authority to require Hinz to register with law-enforcement authorities after imprisonment because he would not be released to supervised release. It struck the registration requirement and affirmed the judgment as modified.
