9th Circuit Invalidates Employment Parole Condition
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals recently invalidated a condition of parole which restricted a registrant from “engaging in any occupation, business, volunteer activity or profession” that had “the potential to be alone with children.” In its ruling, the Court agreed with the registrant that the parole condition at issue was overbroad.
The Court noted in its decision that the condition “would leave only professions in industries that rigidly prohibit the presence of minors, such as a bar, casino, or adult-entertainment venue. The Court also noted that there was nothing in the record to suggest that the registrant “had an ongoing propensity to harm children, particularly random children he might ‘potentially’ encounter on the job.” The registrant in this case was convicted in Arizona of assaulting a child under the age of 16.
This decision, issued on June 8, has been designated as “not appropriate for publication.” The decision was issued without oral argument due to a unanimous decision by the panel of judges involved in the case.

Great news! Keep chipping away at this junk.
I’m curious though what “not appropriate for publication” means?
NON PUBLICATION
Given “the unanimous opinion of the panel” the designation as not sound precedent displays the courts admonished the state agent here. In other words, the agency leadership should have known better because of earlier precedents. One sided interpretation of law occured here and through which a man was denied opportunities for employment based upon an overbroad interpretation ( adhoc) of law by the administrative branch.
This type of agency caprice occurs more frequently than folks think. Most of the time however these capricious acts go unchallenged by convicts. This person made a stand and won the day despite the plethora of barriers meant to protect gov actors.
Question: was this just for those with child related offenses? All offenses? Just curious
Sounds like there starting to separate pedophiles from sexoffenders it’s about daam time.
I dont see why everybody should suffer for someone else’s crime..
