### FILED June 13, 2017 Lyle W. Cayce Clerk Case: 16-50136 Document: 00514031600 Page: 1 Date Filed: 06/13/2017No. 16- 50136

2 struck the dating restriction altogether and instead required that if “ the defendant begins to date anyone with children under the age of 18, he must immediately notify the probation officer.” Carav ayo again appeals. BACKGROUND Caravayo pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252, served a prison sentence, and is now on supervised release.
I n 2014 , his supervised release was revok ed due to a Texas misdemeanor conviction. At the revocation hearing, the district court imposed a 90

- day sentence and re

- imposed all prior conditions of supervised release. Caravayo, however, successfully appeal ed from Special Condition Six, which prohib ited him from “dat[ing any] women/men who have children under the age of eighteen.” We ruled in Caravayo’s favor “[b]ecause the district court made no specific factual findings” establishing that the condition “was reasonably related to one of the four factors under [18 U.S.C.] § 3553(a), and because the record d[id] not clearly substantiate such a relationship.” Id. at 275. While that appeal was pending, Caravayo was busy violating the terms of his supervised release. Most notably, he used the Internet to access a website ostensibly geared toward the “nudist” lifestyle— a website that included images of nude children as well as adults. The district court was aware of this violation when it held the revocation hearing on remand. While it struck Special Condition Six entirely, it imposed the special condition now challenged on appeal. This “notice condition” was appended to Special Condition One and requires Caravayo to immediately inform his probati on officer if he begins dating anyone with children under the age of eighteen. DISCUSSION
I As amended , Special Condition One now requires that “[i]n the event that the defendant begins to date anyone with children under the age of 18, he Case: 16-50136 Document: 00514031600 Page: 2 Date Filed: 06/13/2017No. 16- 50136

3 must immediately notify the probation officer.” Carav ayo notes disagreement regarding what it means , in common parlance, to date someone. He contends the term is therefore impermissibly vague and ambiguous

— that it does not afford him fair notice of what conduct is requir ed, or prohibited. In the first appeal on this matter, however, he made no objection whatsoever to th at very same word , which also appear ed in the prior Special Condition Six —“date.” Special Condition Six presented the same (supposed) risk; it prohibited Caravayo from dating certain people but did not separately define what it
meant to date

. When an argument is not made on appeal and is thus waived, that waiver applies to any subsequent appeal. Lindquist v. City of Pasadena Texas , 669 F.3d 225, 239 (5th Cir. 2012). “The doctrine promotes procedural efficiency and ‘prevents the bizarre result that a party who has chosen not to argue a point on a first appeal should stand better as regards the law of the case than one who had argued and lost.’” Id. at 239 –40 (quoting Nw. Indiana Tel. Co. v. F.C.C. , 872 F.2d 465, 470 (D.C. Cir. 1989)). This rule applies here. Our prior opinion did not establish the law of the case because it did not decide (either expressly or “by necessary impli cation”) whether there was any constitutional problem with a special condition that is triggered when the defendant begins to “date.” See In re Felt , 255 F.3d 220, 225 (5th Cir. 2001) (quoting Browning v. Navarro , 887 F.2d 553, 556 (5th Cir. 1989)). But the fact of this second appeal does not provide Caravayo an opportunity to make an argument that he should have made in the first appeal. Appeals taken from a defendant’s resentencing on remand must be limited to new issues that materialized at resentenci ng and cannot raise an argument that should have been presented in the first appeal. Case: 16-50136 Document: 00514031600 Page: 3 Date Filed: 06/13/2017No. 16- 50136

4 II To the extent Caravayo challenges the notice condition as being unsupported by the record, we review only for an abuse of discretion. United States v. Hu or, 852 F.3d 392 (5th Cir. 2017). [S]uch conditions must be reasonably related to one of the following statutory factors: (i) the nature and circumstances of the offense and the history and characteristics of the defendant; (ii) the need to afford adequate deterrence to criminal conduct; (iii) the need to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant; and (iv) the need to provide the defendant with needed training, medical care, or other correctional treatment in the most effective

manner. United States v. S alazar , 743 F.3d 445, 451 (5th Cir. 2014) (citing 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a)(1) –(2)). And they “cannot involve a ‘greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary’ to achieve the statutory goals.” Id. (quoting United States v. Paul , 274 F.3d 155, 165 (5th Cir. 2001) ). According to Caravayo, the notice condition is not reasonably related to the statutory factors and unduly interferes with his First Amendment rights, especially given that he is already prohibited from unsupervised contact with
minors.
T he notice condition clearly relates to the first three statutory factors

— the history and characteristics of the defendant coupled with the nature an d circumstance of his offense, deterrence of criminal conduct, and protection of the public. We find the relation reasonable. It is essentially conceded that Caravayo is a sick man who should be kept far from children. Thus h e does not challenge the conditions prohibiting him from “unsupervised contact with any child under age 18” and from loitering near places where children are likely to be found. The notice condition directly aids the probation office in ensuring that Carav ayo does not harm children, both by alerting the probation Case: 16-50136 Document: 00514031600 Page: 4 Date Filed: 06/13/2017No. 16- 50136

5 officer to particular children within Caravayo’s social orbit and by affordi ng the officer an opportunity to advise at

- risk persons of Caravayo’s criminal background. Moreover, based on the record, Caravayo is either unrepentant or beyond help. While the defendant’s counsel was diligently advocating on his behalf during the pri or appeal, Caravayo was violating conditions of his supervised release by viewing images of nude children on the Internet. The record shows that the district court is very worried about the risks Caravayo poses as a member of society. The sentencing judge has seen and spoken with this man and knows far more about him than we do. We are not inclined to second -guess the district court’s views on Caravayo, but even if we were, such second

guessing is inappropriate. United States v. Heard , 709 F.3d 413, 435 (5th Cir. 2013). We reject Caravayo’s argument that the notice condition is redundant and therefore necessarily unnecessary

. It is true that the condition prohibiting “unsupervised contact” with minor children is also intended to keep Caravayo from harming children, but a sentencing court is within its dis cretion to seek a worthy ends through multiple means. United States v. Pennington , 606 F. App’ x 216, 223 (5th Cir. 2015). Caravayo also conten ds that the notice condition is uncalled for because he has never exploited a dating relationship to prey upon children. But w e dismiss the idea that a harm must befall the public before sentencing courts are empowered to protect against that harm. And the argument is particular ly unpersuasive here, where the parties seem to agree on the propriety of sentencing conditions that keep Caravayo away from children. Again, the notice condition is simply another reasonable means of promoting that goal. Finally, w e reject Caravayo’s First Amendment

- related arguments

. In Caravayo , we noted that the absolute dating restriction might be warranted on Case: 16-50136 Document: 00514031600 Page: 5 Date Filed: 06/13/2017No. 16- 50136

6 remand. 809 F.3d at 275. The district court has stricken the dating restriction entirely and replaced it with a notice condition . Assuming that the notice condition interferes with Caravayo’s right to free association, the interference is minimal and “reasonably necessary in light of the nature and circumstances of [his] offense and the legitimate need to prevent recidivism and protect the public.” Paul , 274 F.3d at 167

. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Caravayo’s sentence is AFFIRMED. Case: 16-50136 Document: 00514031600 Page: 6 Date Filed: 06/13/2017
