U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-1421
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not err in imposing a
special condition of supervision limiting defendant's contact with his
minor daughter in light of defendant's criminal history, which included a
sex offense against a minor; the condition was reasonably related to
preventing future criminal activity and protecting the child; further, the
condition was no more restrictive than reasonably necessary and permitted
defendant to contact the girl with the approval and supervision of the
probation office; nor did the court abuse its discretion by prohibiting
defendant from having direct or indirect contact with the girl's mother as
she was a felon with a history of drug abuse; defendant had repeatedly
violated his supervision by using drugs and this condition was reasonably
related to his rehabilitation and necessary to deter future criminal
activity.
