United States Ninth Circuit

In a case involving a scheme to manufacture counterfeit credit cards, a sentence imposed following defendant's guilty plea to possession of device-making equipment is affirmed in part as to the sentence and a condition of supervised release requiring defendant to report to a probation office should he be deported and reenter the country. However, the sentence is vacated in part as to a condition of supervised release imposing a restriction on "access[ing] or possess[ing] any computer or computer-related devices in any manner," as such a sweeping and indefinite condition was unwarranted under the circumstances.
