The court also held that the district court was well within its discretion to deny defendant's motion to modify two special conditions of supervised release regarding the Hell's Angels special conditions, because they were reasonably related to the sentencing factors, involved no greater deprivation of liberty than was reasonably necessary, and were consistent with the Sentencing Commission's pertinent policy statements.
