Case Explained: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. MARSHALL ISIAH GRADY

Court: United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit Filed: 2026-08-07 The fourth-circuit affirmed the defendant’s criminal judgment, rejecting his claim that the district court committed error under *United States v. Rogers* by including a warrantless search condition “at any time” in the written judgment when he contends the oral order was limited to daytime searches. The court applied the standard of review for consistency between an oral sentence and a written judgment de novo, determining whether a material discrepancy exists that constitutes a *Rogers* error or requires resentencing under *United States v. Mathis*. The court held that because the district court’s oral pronouncement imposed a search condition without any temporal restriction, the inclusion of “at any time” in the written judgment did not outline an additional obligation but merely clarified or explained the details of the orally pronounced condition. Consequently, there was no material discrepancy between the oral and written orders, and the defendant’s sentence stands as imposed. Do It For The Case Law is a news reporting service.
