161956P.pdf   12/14/2016  United States  v.  Cynthia Hobbs
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1956
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Murphy, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Criminal case - Sentencing. Special condition of defendant's supervised 
   release prohibiting her from "direct, indirect, or electronic contact" 
   with her husband was not supported by the record, and this sweeping 
   restriction on defendant's important constitutional right of marriage is 
   vacated; the matter is remanded for reconsideration on a closed record as 
   the government had a full and fair opportunity to present evidence on this 
   issue and it will not be permitted to expand the record on remand.
