How courts have described this case

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

holding that conditions “prohibiting access to the Internet and to legal adult pornography” are “unusual and severe conditions”
recognizing that “sister circuits have similarly rejected absolute Internet bans even where the defendant had used the computer for ill in his crime of conviction”
recognizing that “in modern society, citizens have a First Amendment right to access the Internet,” and therefore that “[i]n only highly unusual circumstances will a total Internet ban imposed as a condition of supervised release be substantively reasonable”
finding that the Internet had nothing to do with the defendant’s “offense of failing to register as a sex offender”
suggesting that similar special conditions may be appropriate where the court “connect[s] the need for th[e] condition to the defendant’s likelihood of recidivism or to another sentencing factor”
vacating adult-pornography ban where district court failed to explain why defendant’s viewing of such pornography represented a particular risk to the public
