No. 12-2260
Decision Date: 
October 18, 2012
Federal District: 
W.D. Wisc.
Holding: 
Vacated and remanded
Dist. Ct. erred in imposing lifetime term of supervised release in addition to 97-month term of incarceration on possession of child pornography charge. While lifetime term of supervised release was permissible, remand was required where Dist. Ct. failed to provide rational for length of supervision or identify any conditions of said supervision. Moreover, Ct. of Appeals directed Dist. Ct. to consider on remand defendant’s arguments concerning his alleged low risk of recidivism, as well as any interaction between length of supervision and its conditions.
