The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Long, 963 F.2d 381 (9th Cir. 1992):
A sentencing judge has broad discretion in setting conditions for supervised release, including restricting fundamental rights. United States v. Bolinger, 940 F.2d 478, 480 (9th Cir.1991). We review conditions of probation for abuse of discretion. United States v. Clark, 918 F.2d 843, 847 (9th Cir.1990). A district court abuses its discretion if it does not apply the correct law or commits a clear error of judgment in weighing the facts. United States v. Schlette, 842 F.2d 1574, 1577 (9th Cir.), amended on other grounds, 854 F.2d 359 (9th Cir.1988).
The district court acts pursuant to statute when it imposes conditions on supervised release.
