The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Mizrahy, 19 F.3d 31 (9th Cir. 1994):
We review for an abuse of discretion the district court's limitation on the scope of cross-examination. United States v. Whitworth, 856 F.2d 1268, 1283 (9th Cir.1988), cert. denied, 489 U.S. 1084 (1989).
The right to confront and cross-examine witnesses applies in the context of supervised release revocation proceedings. United States v. Martin, 984 F.2d 308, 310 (9th Cir.1990). The releasee's rights at a revocation hearing, however, "do not rise to the level of similar rights at a criminal trial." Id. at 311.
