ORDER AND JUDGMENT* _________________________________
Before MATHESON, BACHARACH, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.** _________________________________
This is a direct criminal appeal from the July 5, 2019 judgment entered in
Appellant Jason Diedrich’s criminal case. On February 12, 2020, the parties filed a
Joint Motion for Remand. The motion seeks to remand with instructions to the
district court to vacate a special condition of supervised release imposed upon Mr.
Diedrich that the parties agree is improper in light of United States v. Blair, 933 F.3d 1271, 1272, 1280-81 (10th Cir. 2019) (finding that supervised release condition

It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1. ** Because this matter is being decided on a joint motion for remand to the district court, the panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(f); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore submitted without oral argument. “it allows the probation office to completely ban the defendant’s use of the Internet

defendant’s Internet access”; remanding with instructions to district court to
reformulate condition to bring it into compliance with 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553 and 3583).
Upon consideration, we grant the parties’ Joint Motion for Remand and we
remand with instructions for the United States District Court for the District of
Colorado to vacate Special Condition of Supervision Number 12, and to reformulate
it in accord with United States v. Blair.
The Clerk is directed to issue the mandate forthwith.
