Heading: A Restriction on Access To the Internet Is a Reasonable Condition of Supervised Release.

Text: Moran complains that the limitation on access to the internet infringes on his liberty and, given his health condition, effectively cut[s] off his ability to interact with the outside world[,] but we rejected a similar argument in Zinn. Although the internet provides valuable resources for information and communication, it also serves as a dangerous forum in which an offender can freely access child pornography and communicate with potential victims. Moran may still use the Internet for valid purposes by obtaining his probation officer's prior permission. Zinn, 321 F.3d at 1093. Although the condition infringes on Moran's liberty, it is not unduly restrictive. The district court did not abuse its discretion.
