Supervised Release Probation Officers Prior Approval

RECENT CASE SUMMARIES:
US V. SALES
9th Circuit

Conditions of supervised release imposed on defendant as part of his sentence for counterfeiting U.S. federal reserve notes are vacated in part and remanded where: 1) a condition requiring that defendant seek and obtain approval from his probation officer before using any particular computer or computer-related device results in an unnecessary deprivation of defendant's liberty; and 2) a related search and seizure condition was also overbroad.
