   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.
