Question Presented (from Petition)

I. Currently, the Circuits are split as to whether the standard federal supervision condition requiring third-party risk notification is constitutional. Some Circuits hold the condition is vague and allows the probation officer unfettered discretion that implicates the defendant's liberty interests in violation of the non-delegation doctrine, while others hold that the condition withstands constitutional scrutiny. Is the standard federal supervision condition requiring third-party risk notification unconstitutional for its vagueness, overbreadth, and violation of the non-delegation doctrine?
