Court Description: Criminal Law. The panel affirmed the district court’s imposition of supervised release conditions requiring that the defendant participate in a sex offense-specific assessment and that, if recommended by a probation officer, he submit to polygraph testing in conjunction with the assessment. The panel held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the conditions because they (1) are not particularly burdensome; and (2) do not rest solely on the defendant’s 27-year-old rape conviction, but relate primarily to the risks indicated by his recent crime of conviction, failure to register as a sex offender.
