U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-1711
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Gruender, Circuit
Judge]
Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not err in allowing
defendant to proceed pro se on the hearing to modify the conditions of his
supervised release; the court did not err in granting the Probation
Office's motion to add two special conditions of supervised release; based
on testimony regarding defendant's current mental conditions, it was not
error to require a mental health assessment be performed; nor did the
court err in imposing a search condition based on reasonable suspicion;
the court erred, however,in requiring defendant to provide the probation
office with access to any business record or financial information, as the
condition is vague and overbroad and is not warranted by the
circumstances; the condition is vacated.
