United States v. Rolando Mendoza-Velasquez

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided January 30, 2017No. 16-40194PublishedCited by 19 opinions

1Per curiam

This appeal arises from a district court’s judgment requiring Rolando Mendoza-Velasquez to “participate in a mental health program” and “incur costs associated with such program, based on ability to pay” as a special condition of supervised release.
