McNeill v. State
Nevada Supreme Court
375 P.3d 1022, 132 Nev. 551 (2016)
- Written by Deanna Curl, JD
Facts
Steve McNeill (defendant) was a convicted sex offender on lifetime supervision. Under the terms of the supervision, McNeill was required to maintain full-time employment, pay fees, and submit to urinalysis. In March 2013, McNeill’s new supervising officer, Ashley Mangan, established a curfew and set limitations on where McNeill could sleep at night. In August 2013, McNeill refused to submit to a requested urinalysis and told Mangan that he would not abide by the curfew or sleeping limitations. McNeill was subsequently charged with violation of the conditions of lifetime supervision. The trial court refused to dismiss the charge, determining that the Board of Parole Commissioners (the board) had the authority to establish conditions for lifetime supervision that were not statutorily enumerated. McNeill was convicted by a jury and appealed the conviction.
