Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Must searches conducted as conditions of federal supervised release be supported by at least reasonable suspicion?

2. Is the Fifth Circuit wrong to hold that, for a decision to be judged "plainly erroneous," there must be a published, on-point, circuit decision finding the same decision to be error under the harmless-error standard of review?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Must searches conducted as conditions of federal supervised release be supported by at least reasonable suspicion?
