Overview: U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit overruled U.S. v. Isong, 111 F.3d 428 (6th Cir. 1997) and held that tolling was not a "condition" under 18 U.S.C.S. § 3583(d) and that statutory scheme evidenced Congress's intent that period of supervised release would not be tolled while defendant was outside United States as the result of deportation.
