   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  05-2324
   District of Northern Iowa   
   [PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with McMillian and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The government's argument that the appellate courts do not have jurisdiction to review sentences for reasonableness when they are within the guidelines range is rejected as inconsistent with 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3742, Booker and the Sixth Amendment; a guidelines sentence, although presumptively reasonable, can still be unreasonable when all of the factors set out in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3553(a) are considered; defendant did not waive his right to appeal his sentence in his plea agreement; sentence was reasonable; district court did not abuse its discretion or improperly delegate its sentencing authority by leaving the imposition of certain conditions for supervised release - remote alcohol testing, video information capture or use of a GPS monitoring system - to the discretion of the probation officer; imposition of restrictions on contact with minor children was a reasonable condition of supervised release in a conviction for possession of child pornography.
