7^th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: United States of America v. William Anthony Dodds

Case No.: 19-1135

Officials: BAUER, BRENNAN, and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Sentencing – Supervised Release

William Dodds appeals several conditions of supervised release imposed as part of his sentence for passport fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1542. Dodds contends the challenged conditions are either unconstitutionally vague or lack adequate justification. But in the district court, he objected to only one of the proposed conditions and affirmatively waived any challenge to the rest. While the written judgment must be modified to conform one condition to the oral pronouncement, in all other respects it is correct, so we modify the written judgment and affirm the judgment as modified.

Modified and affirmed
