7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. Martez Dickson

Case No.: 16-1039

Officials: EASTERBROOK, KANNE, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Motion to Suppress

Martez Dickson appeals his conviction for being a felon in possession of a gun. 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). He argues that the district court erred by denying his motion to suppress evidence and by imposing vague conditions of supervised release. We find no error in the court’s evidentiary ruling but agree with Dickson that two of his conditions of supervision are problematic. Consequently, we affirm in part, vacate in part, and remand for a limited resentencing hearing.

Affirmed in part

Vacated and remanded in part
