U.S. v. Shannon

Dist. Ct. erred in imposing as special condition of defendant’s supervised release lifetime ban on possession of any sexually explicit material, after finding that defendant had violated term of his supervised release on charge of unlawful possession of child pornography. Dist. Ct. could not impose instant lifetime ban in absence of any finding or explanation for such ban, especially where ban was not discussed before or during sentencing hearing. Ct. also found that such ban was too vague/broad with respect to whether it covered more than visual depictions, or whether it applied to legal adult pornography.
