United States Ninth Circuit
US v. Rudd, 10-50254
In an appeal from the district court's imposition of a residency restriction as a special condition of defendant's supervised release following his conviction and sentencing for traveling to a foreign country and engaging in illicit sexual conduct, 18 U.S.C. section 2423(c), judgment is reversed because the court committed procedural error where it provided no explanation for its imposition of the restriction, and none is apparent from the record.
