7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Easton Henry

Case No.: 14-3810

Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and BAUER and POSNER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing

Conditions of supervised release where probation officer would have home visits deemed unreasonable.

“There is also a question of what the probation officer would hope to learn from home visits that he would not learn from the defendant’s required visits to the probation office. A defendant who has contraband in his home is un- likely to leave it in the “plain view” of the visiting probation officer. But in any event the home-visit condition is not mandatory, and being optional can be modified by the district judge to fit the particulars of the case.”

Judgment vacated and remanded for full resentencing
