Elrod finds the district court properly modified a number of the special conditions imposed upon defendant’s 15-year term of supervised release after discharge from his 168-month prison sentence for receiving child pornography. All modified terms address defendant’s use of computers and the internet, as well as associating with minors, administered through the potential use of lie detector tests. Defendant contends that the court lacked jurisdiction to modify the conditions based on an unconstitutional ban on access to all computers. This is true, though the probation office gives other reasons for modification, including that the modifications provide for greater efficiency in monitoring defendant. The district court has jurisdiction to modify supervised release conditions even without other changes in circumstance. Affirmed.
