United States Sixth Circuit

A new sentence imposed on defendant after he violated the terms of his supervised release through a series of alcohol-related incidents is affirmed over a challenge to a new condition of supervised relief requiring him to live in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for one year where: 1) a district court may require a defendant to "reside in a specified place or area," 18 U.S.C. section 3563(b)(13); and 2) there was no abuse of discretion in a conclusion that the condition "involves no greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary".
