The following excerpt is from United States v. Lnu, No. 18-3766 (2nd Cir. 2020):
We apply "a particularly deferential form of abuse-of-discretion review," United States v. Cavera, 550 F.3d 180, 188 & n.5 (2d Cir. 2008), and, as a general rule, we review sentences for violations of supervised release under the same standard as we review sentences for a crime of conviction, see, e.g., United States v. McNeil, 415 F.3d 273, 277 (2d Cir. 2005).
