U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
United States v. Stuart
September 3, 2026
Summary
The Second Circuit affirmed the district court's imposition of a special supervised‑release condition authorizing the Probation Office to notify third parties of Jessica Stuart's criminal history. The court held that Stuart's challenge to the condition was ripe and that the district court did not impermissibly delegate judicial authority because the probation officer's discretion was sufficiently limited. The decision rested on an abuse‑of‑discretion review applied de novo to the legal issues.
