                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Northern District of Texas
                               USDC No. 5:21-CR-125-1
                      ______________________________

   Before Higginbotham, Graves, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          Maxwell David Wilson appeals his sentence for distribution of child
   pornography. We pretermit consideration of the applicability of the appeal
   waiver in his plea agreement. See United States v. De Leon, 915 F.3d 386, 289
   n.2 (5th Cir. 2019).

Case: 22-10453      Document: 00516647346          Page: 2   Date Filed: 02/15/2023

                                    No. 22-10453

          Given Wilson’s history of direct sexual abuse of a child, he has not
   shown that the imposition of a condition of supervised release limiting his
   contact with minors was plain error. See Puckett v. United States, 556 U.S.
   129, 135 (2009); United States v. Cabello, 33 F.4th 281, 291 (5th Cir. 2022);
   United States v. Ellis, 720 F.3d 220, 223-24 (5th Cir. 2013). The challenged
   condition is not absolute, as it permits Wilson to have supervised contact
   with persons under the age of 18, and, with his probation officer’s permission,
   to work or volunteer where minors congregate and to have an intentional
   relationship with someone who has minor children. Cf. United States v. Duke,
   788 F.3d 392, 401-03 (5th Cir. 2015).
          The district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED.
