Question Presented (from Petition)

For a low-level sex offender (like a mere possessor of child pornography with no prior criminal history), is a supervised-release condition prohibiting him from living in most urban and suburban areas substantively unreasonable, that is, does it fail to both reasonably relate to the goals of supervised release (deterrence, public protection, and rehabilitation) and involve no greater deprivation of liberty than is reasonably necessary to serve those goals?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a supervised-release condition prohibiting a low-level sex offender from living in most urban and suburban areas is substantively unreasonable, failing to reasonably relate to the goals of supervised release and involving greater deprivation of liberty than necessary
