   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2066
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
[PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Benton and Beam, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The district court did not abuse its discretion in finding defendant violated the provisions of his supervised release by missing a meeting that was part of his sex-offender treatment and by having intentional contact with a minor; defendant demonstrated a pattern of untruthfulness with his probation officer, and the court did not abuse its discretion in ordering periodic polygraph testing; further, the court found defendant had used a computer and shared masochistic images on Limewire, and the restrictions on his access to Internet-connected devices did not involve a greater deprivation of liberty than was reasonably necessary to advance deterrence and protect the public.
