United States v. Parisi, No. 15-963 (2d Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of four counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and related charges. On appeal, defendant challenged the district court's 2015 decision modifying the special conditions of supervised release that had been imposed on him at the time of his sentencing in 2004 to include what are now standard conditions of supervision for individuals convicted of sex offenses. Because a change in defendant's circumstances is not a prerequisite to a modification under 18 U.S.C. 3583(e), the court declined to reverse the district court on that basis. The court held that a court may order special conditions of supervised release in addition to the usual general conditions, so long as they are “reasonably related” to criteria listed in the Sentencing Guidelines Manual section 5D1.3(b). In this case, the district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that the new search condition was reasonably related to the offense conduct and purposes of the sentence or that it was a greater deprivation of liberty than reasonably necessary. Defendant similarly fails to show that the district court abused its discretion in imposing the new polygraph/CVSA condition. The court also concluded that the district court did not err by not holding a second hearing on Probation Services’ modification request. The court rejected defendant's remaining arguments and affirmed the judgment.
