v.

Anthony Madison

Defendant - Appellant ____________

Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis ____________

Submitted: January 12, 2026 Filed: February 6, 2026 [Unpublished] ____________

Before SMITH, ERICKSON, and KOBES, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

While serving a term of supervised release, Anthony Madison was arrested for harassment in the first degree, Mo. Rev. Stat. § 565.090, and nonconsensual dissemination of private sexual images, Mo. Rev. Stat. § 573.110, though the state grand jury later returned a no true bill, see Mo. Rev. Stat. § 540.260. The U.S. Probation Office petitioned to revoke his supervised release based on the alleged new law violations. The district court 1 denied Madison’s request for a jury trial. After a hearing, it found by a preponderance of the evidence that he committed both crimes, so it revoked his supervision and imposed a revocation sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583(e)(3) (a court may “revoke a term of supervised release . . . if the court . . . finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant violated a condition of supervised release”).

Madison argues that his revocation sentence violates his Sixth Amendment right to have a jury determine his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. He acknowledges his claim is foreclosed by United States v. Eagle Chasing, 965 F.3d 647, 650–51 (8th Cir. 2020).
