Case Explained: Summary Calendar United States of America Plaintiff— v. Roni Jardel Matute-Disqua Defendant—

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit Filed: 2026-06-23 The Fifth Circuit affirmed the sentence imposed on Roni Jardel Matute-Disqua following his guilty plea conviction for illegal reentry into the United States. The court rejected Matute-Disqua’s argument that the district court orally pronounced two conflicting supervised release reporting conditions, holding that the conditions were not self-contradictory because they could be reasonably interpreted to require reporting to different probation offices depending on whether the defendant was surrendered to immigration officials and subsequently released. Applying plain error review, the court found that Matute-Disqua failed to demonstrate clear or obvious error in the straightforward application of existing case law regarding sentencing clarity. Consequently, the judgment of the district court remains in effect, and the sentence stands as imposed. Do It For The Case Law is a news reporting service.
