728 F.3d 947 (2013)

UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jeffrey Alan HILGER, Defendant-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Filed August 26, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael Donahoe , Senior Litigator, Federal Defenders of Montana, Helena, MT, for Appellant.

Leif M. Johnson (argued) and Marcia Hurd , United States Attorney's Office for the District of Montana, Billings, MT, for Appellee.

Before: M. Margaret McKeown and Sandra S. Ikuta, Circuit Judges, and Cormac J. Carney, District Judge.


OPINION

McKEOWN, Circuit Judge:

In criminal prosecutions, where guilt must be established beyond a reasonable doubt, the Supreme Court requires a conviction to rest on more than the uncorroborated confession of the defendant. Opper v. United States, 348 U.S. 84, 75 S.Ct. 158, 99 L.Ed. 101 (1954). The question here is whether the same standard should be extended to revocation of supervised release.
