# United States v. Lowe

## Holdings used

- An early-termination decision must indicate statutory-factor consideration, and a blanket policy of waiting until only twelve months remain circumvents § 3583(e)(1).

## Material limitation

Binding only in the Seventh Circuit and only for the bounded procedural postures in the linked claims. Official GovInfo court-opinion copy reviewed. No findings on each factor or categorical hearing requirement is inferred; the holding addresses the reviewable record and categorical timing policy used in Lowe. A comprehensive commercial citator was not run.
