United States v. Ismael Torres-Figueroa

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
United States v. Ismael Torres-Figueroa, 474 F. App'x 575 (9th Cir. 2012)

United States v. Ismael Torres-Figueroa

Opinion

MEMORANDUM ***

Torres-Figueroa appeals the district court’s re-imposition of a residency restriction as a condition of his supervised release. The district court imposed the restriction after we previously vacated Torres-Figueroa’s sentence and remanded for resentencing. United States v. Torres-Figueroa, 448 Fed.Appx. 729 (9th Cir. 2011). The restriction prohibits him from residing “within 200 yards of school yards, parks, public swimming pools, playgrounds, youth centers, video arcade facilities, or other places primarily used by persons under the age of 18.” We have jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742, and we vacate the condition and remand to the district court to resentence Torres-Figueroa without a residency restriction.

The district court erred in imposing a residency restriction as a condition of Torres-Figueroa’s supervised release. Our prior ruling prohibited the imposition of a residency restriction on the basis of Torres-Figueroa’s 1994 conviction for aggravated sexual assault because that outdated conviction, without more, is insufficient to establish that the condition is reasonably related to the purposes of supervised release under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(d). See United States v. T.M., 330 F.3d 1235, 1240 (9th Cir. 2003). The district court’s imposition of a new residency restriction thus violates our mandate. United States v. Thrasher, 483 F.3d 977, 982 (9th Cir. 2007).

VACATED and REMANDED for re-sentencing without a residency restriction.
