Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in modifying terms of defendant’s supervised release to require defendant to attend sex offender assessment and treatment program, based upon Dist. Ct.’s discovery two years after instant sentencing hearing that defendant had been convicted on state charge of sexual abuse of minor. Ct. rejected defendant’s contention that Dist. Ct. lacked authority to modify terms of his supervised release, even though he had not previously violated said terms, and record showed that modified terms of supervised release were related to sentencing goals of deterrence, rehabilitation and protection of public, where defendant’s sexual abuse conviction was contemporaneous to his federal drug and firearm convictions, but had not been entered by time of his federal sentencing hearing.
