Text: On November 8, 2004, a grand jury in the Western District of Pennsylvania returned an indictment against appellant Derrick Kenrick1 (“Kenrick”), charging him with one count of violating 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b). Kenrick subsequently pled guilty to the indictment on July 7, 2005, pursuant to a plea agreement he reached with the government. On November 4, 2005, the district court sentenced Kenrick to 46 months’ imprisonment 1 Kenrick was indicted as “Derrick Kenrick, a/k/a Charles Salter, a/k/a Charles Saiter.” App. at 13. According to the Presentence Report (“PSR”), Kenrick changed his name in September 2003 to “Derrick Ian Kenrick” for “personal reasons.” PSR ¶ 45. 2 to be followed by a lifetime term of supervised release. Kenrick’s supervised release was conditioned on several requirements, including that he participate in a sex offender treatment program, be prohibited from possessing any materials depicting or describing sexually explicit conduct as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 2256(2), agree to submit to polygraph examinations to determine his compliance with the conditions of his supervised release, and cooperate in the collection of his DNA at the direction of his probation officer. Kenrick does not challenge either his conviction or the length of his custodial sentence. Rather, he protests the district court’s imposition of the lifetime term of supervised release as well as the above-listed special conditions of that release. In a result consistent with our recent decision in United States v. Voelker, 487 F.3d 139 (3d Cir. 2007), we will vacate the judgment imposing Kenrick’s sentence insofar as it includes a lifetime term of supervised release as well as the related requirement prohibiting Kenrick from possessing sexually explicit materials, and will remand for resentencing.
