United States Seventh Circuit

Sentence for possession of a firearm by a felon is vacated where the district court's order to serve six months in a "residential reentry center" as a discretionary condition of defendant's supervised release exceeded the court's authority because it disregarded the plain language of 18 U.S.C. section 3583(d), which, at the time, specifically omitted this condition from a list of permissible discretionary conditions.
