U.S. v. Groce

Defendant waived his appellate challenge to two conditions of supervised release on his conviction for sex trafficking and witness retaliation, i.e.,  requirement that defendant notify others of his criminal record and obligation to register as sex offender and directive to have no contact with crime victim, where defendant waived reading of instant conditions at sentencing hearing, and where defendant’s counsel stated that he was not aware of any grounds for objecting to said conditions. Record also showed that defendant had objected to four other conditions of supervised release at sentencing, but not to instant conditions. Ct. rejected, under Flores, 929 F.3d 443, defendant’s claim that mere failure to object to condition of supervised release at sentencing hearing does not constitute waiver of any challenge to said condition on appellate review.
