The Honorable Ronald M. Whyte, Senior United States District Judge
for the Northern District of California, sitting by designation.
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 F. App’x 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aggravated sexual assault because that outdated conviction, without more, is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 resentencing without a residency
restriction.
