MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from USA. v. Gallaher, 275 F.3d 784 (9th Cir. 2001):

We review a district court's decision to impose a special condition of supervised release for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Pinjuv, 218 F.3d 1125, 1129 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 531 U.S. 1025 (2000). A district court has discretion to order special conditions of supervised release pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3583(d), if the conditions are reasonably related to the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. 3553(a). United States v. Fellows, 157 F.3d 1197, 1203 (9th Cir. 1998). 5 The factors listed in 3353(a),

however, merely "guide the district court's discretion" and do not act as "a checklist of requisites, each of which must be found before any condition of supervised release may be prescribed." United States v. Johnson, 998 F.2d 696, 698 (9th Cir. 1993).
