United States Third Circuit

In a prosecution of defendant for possession of child pornography and marijuana wherein he was sentenced to thirty months' imprisonment and a lifetime term of supervised release, the district court's imposition of eight special conditions of supervised release is vacated and remanded as a lifetime limitation on internet use is a greater restraint of liberty than is reasonably necessary and a restriction on his association with minors is overbroad.
