Text: The cross-referenced § 3553(a) factors that are of particular relevance here direct a court to consider: (1) the nature and circumstances of the offense and the history and characteristics of the defendant; (2) the need for the sentence imposed— ... (B) to afford adequate deterrence to crim- inal conduct; (C) to protect the public from further crimes of the defendant; and (D) to provide the defendant with needed educational or vocational training, medical care, or other correctional treatment in the most effective manner. In addition to setting forth certain mandatory conditions of supervised release, § 3583(d) permits a district court to impose any condition it deems appropriate,6 so long as the discretionary condition 6 In addition to permitting a district court to design any supervised release condition it deems appropriate, § 3583(d) specifically enumerates 6808 UNITED STATES v. WEBER (1) is reasonably related to the factors set forth in section 3553(a)(1), (a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(C), and (a)(2)(D); (2) involves no greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary for the purposes set forth in section 3553(a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(C), and (a)(2)(D); and (3) is consistent with any pertinent policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission pursu- ant to 28 U.S.C. 994(a).[7] [5] Under this statutory scheme, then, conditions of supervised release8 “are permissible only if they are reasonably related to the goal of deterrence, protection of the public, or rehabilitation of the offender.” T.M., 330 F.3d at 1240. “Conditions of supervised release must relate to these purposes, but may be unrelated to one or more of [them], so long as they as permissible conditions a number of discretionary conditions of probation catalogued at § 3563(b). Relevant here is § 3563(b)(9), which provides that a district court may require a defendant to “undergo available medical, psychiatric, or psychological treatment, including treatment for drug or alcohol dependency, as specified by the court, and remain in a specified institution if required for that purpose.” 7 The United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual contains a policy statement that recommends the imposition of sex offender treatment programs for defendants convicted of a sex offense. See U.S.S.G. § 5D1.3(d) (7)(A). The Guidelines do not, however, specify the particulars of such treatment programs and do not mention the plethysmograph testing at issue here. 8 As mentioned earlier, § 3583(d) provides for a number of mandatory conditions of supervised release that are to be imposed by the district court in certain circumstances. The statutory framework we have catalogued, however, is applicable to discretionary conditions that a district court may choose to impose on a defendant. This case deals with such a condition. Any reference in this opinion to the standards governing “supervised release conditions” should be understood as referring to only discretionary supervised release conditions. UNITED STATES v. WEBER 6809 are sufficiently related to the others.” Bee, 162 F.3d at 1235 (alteration in original) (internal quotation marks omitted). In addition, a supervised release condition need not relate to the offense of conviction, as long as it satisfies one of the above goals. See T.M., 330 F.3d at 1240. Finally, even if a proposed condition otherwise meets the statutory requirements of § 3553(a), it still must “involve ‘no greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary for the purposes’ of supervised release.” Id. (quoting § 3583(d)(2)).
