var WPFootnote1 = ' The right to a timely hearing is assured, more generally, by\
the Due Process Clause. Some courts have analyzed failures to hold\
timely revocation hearings in terms of a constitutional benchmark. \
See, e.g., Santana, 526 F.3d at 1259. Whether viewed as a breach\
of the rule or of the Due Process Clause, the result in this case\
would be the same.\
'

var WPFootnote2 = ' Similarly, if the violation were to be analyzed in due\
process terms, relief from the judgment would not be mandated\
unless the violation caused prejudice; that is, unless it affected\
the offender\'s substantial rights. Santana, 526 F.3d at 1260.\
'

var WPFootnote3 = ' A few courts have held that a district court does not have\
authority to run a sentence for a supervised release violation\
consecutive to a state sentence not yet imposed. See, e.g., United\
States v. Clayton, 927 F.2d 491, 493 (9th Cir. 1991). Under this\
view, the appellant might be able to argue that delaying the\
hearing until after the Puerto Rico court had sentenced him was\
prejudicial. We need not speculate. Passing the point that\
Clayton exemplifies a minority rule, see, e.g., United States v.\
Sumlin, 317 F.3d 780, 782 (8th Cir. 2003); United States v.\
Hernández, 234 F.3d 252, 256 (5th Cir. 2000); United States v.\
Williams, 46 F.3d 57, 58-59 (10th Cir. 1995); United States v.\
Ballard, 6 F.3d 1502, 1510 (11th Cir. 1993), the appellant has not\
made such an argument. It is, therefore, waived. United States v.\
Zannino, 895 F.2d 1, 17 (1st Cir. 1990). \
