United States v. Doyle, No. 12-5516 (6th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseAfter moving to Tennessee, Doyle was charged with failure to register as a sex offender, 18 U.S.C. 2250(a), to which he pleaded guilty without a plea agreement. The district court sentenced Doyle to three years and one month in prison followed by ten years of supervised release, upon which the district court imposed special conditions, forbidding Doyle from: possessing any pornography, even legal pornography; from having any direct or indirect contact with any child under the age of 18; loitering near school yards, playgrounds, swimming pools, arcades or other places frequented by children; from using sexually-oriented telephone numbers or computer services; or from possessing or using any computer with access to any “on-line service” or other forms of wireless communication at any location (including employment) without the prior approval of the Probation Officer. The Sixth Circuit vacated the sentence, finding that the district court erred procedurally by failing to explain its reasons for imposing the special conditions, and that the record did not otherwise illuminate the reasons.
