approval conditions of supervised release, which are listed as standard
conditions 15 and 16 in the written judgment.
The Government has filed a motion in response. The Government
agrees that these conditions of supervised release violate 18 U.S.C. § 3583(d)
and moves to vacate the sentence on that basis. The Government also moves
for summary affirmance or, in the alternative, an extension of time to file a
brief.
The parties are correct that the two conditions of supervised release
fail to comply with § 3583(d). See United States v. Mendoza, 170 F.4th 921,
927-28 (5th Cir. 2026). While the parties agree that the district court erred
by imposing the supervised release conditions, they disagree about the proper
disposition. We conclude that the appropriate remedy in this case is to vacate
the sentence in part and to remand the case for entry of an amended written
judgment. See id.; United States v. Fuentes-Rodriguez, 22 F.4th 504, 506 (5th
Cir. 2022).
Thus, we GRANT the Government’s motion in part, as follows. We
VACATE the two erroneous conditions of supervised release, otherwise
AFFIRM the judgment of the district court, and REMAND the case for
entry of an amended written judgment. We DENY the Government’s
motion in all other respects.
