How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that “absolute lifetime ban” on defendant’s computer use and internet access 8 with no employment or education-related exceptions involved a greater deprivation of liberty than reasonably necessary
  • recognizing that conditions other than the listed mandatory and discretionary conditions of supervised release in § 3583(d) may be imposed by a district court in order to tailor the conditions to the specific offense and offender
  • noting that modern cars \contain at least one computer\ and \might have as many as 50 microprocessors\
  • holding that a restriction significantly narrower than the one at issue here (i.e., a ban on possession of “textual descriptions or visual descriptions of ‘sexually explicit conduct,’ as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 2256(2)”) implicates “serious First Amendment concerns”
  • requiring some evidence of a tangible relationship between the terms of supervised release and the offense or the history of the defendant
  • vacating a sentence that imposed \an absolute lifetime ban on using computers and computer equipment as well as accessing the internet\
