             The Honorable Ronald M. Whyte, Senior United States District Judge
for the Northern District of California, sitting by designation.
      Torres-Figueroa appeals the district court’s re-imposition of a residency

restriction as a condition of his supervised release. The district court imposed the

restriction after we previously vacated Torres-Figueroa’s sentence and remanded

for resentencing. United States v. Torres-Figueroa, 448 F. App’x 729 (9th Cir.

2011). The restriction prohibits him from residing “within 200 yards of school

yards, parks, public swimming pools, playgrounds, youth centers, video arcade

facilities, or other places primarily used by persons under the age of 18.” We have

jurisdiction pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3742, and we vacate the condition and remand

to the district court to resentence Torres-Figueroa without a residency restriction.

      The district court erred in imposing a residency restriction as a condition of

Torres-Figueroa’s supervised release. Our prior ruling prohibited the imposition of

a residency restriction on the basis of Torres-Figueroa’s 1994 conviction for

aggravated sexual assault because that outdated conviction, without more, is

insufficient to establish that the condition is reasonably related to the purposes of

supervised release under 18 U.S.C. § 3583(d). See United States v. T.M., 330 F.3d

1235, 1240 (9th Cir. 2003). The district court’s imposition of a new residency

restriction thus violates our mandate. United States v. Thrasher, 483 F.3d 977, 982

(9th Cir. 2007).

      VACATED and REMANDED for resentencing without a residency

restriction.
