United States v. Mandingo Simms

LOKEN, Circuit Judge.

Mandingo Simms appeals the district court’s1 revocation of supervised release. *730He argues that the court violated his due process right to confront witnesses when it admitted hearsay evidence at the revocation hearing without engaging in the analysis required by United States v. Bell, 785 F.2d 640, 642-43 (8th Cir.1986), and later decisions. See also Fed.R.Crim.P. 32. 1(b)(2)(C). We review this constitutional claim de novo. See United States v. Farmer, 567 F.3d 343, 347 (8th Cir.2009). Concluding the Bell issue was not properly preserved in the district court, we affirm.
