   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Texarkana   
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Loken, Circuit Judge] Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court adequately supported its decision to impose lifetime supervision based on the need to protect the public and defendant's history, mental condition, sexual deviation, and severe alcoholism; the lifetime supervision provision was not substantively unreasonable; Special Condition 6 concerning a ban on internet access was not supported by the record and the government concedes it should be vacated; Special Condition 1 concerning searches is expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. Sec. 3583(d) and is affirmed; Special Condition 2 concerning treatment and testing for substance abuse was justified by defendant's history of alcohol and drug abuse; Special Condition 3 regarding mental health or sex offender treatment was justified by his history, failure to complete prior treatment and the need to protect the public; Special Condition 5 regarding contact with minors was justified by defendant's history and the need to protect minors; there were discrepancies between the oral pronouncement of the special conditions and the written judgment and the matter is remanded to permit the district court to harmonize the terms of its oral sentence and written judgment.
