United States Ninth Circuit

A sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm is affirmed in part and vacated and remanded in part where: 1) although the district court erred by failing to verify that defendant had read his presentence report (PSR) and had discussed it with his attorney, the error was harmless; and 2) certain conditions of supervised release relating to the use of defendant's legal name, and to gang association, required modification or removal.
