Jeremiah Wroblewski U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-4020 U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa, Waterloo [PUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Shepherd, Arnold and Melloy, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court did not err in imposing a special condition of supervised release which ordered defendant to have no contact with his girlfriend as he had a history of domestic violence and one of his supervised-release violations was related to an altercation with the woman; however, that portion of the restriction prohibiting defendant from having any contact with her family was more restrictive than necessary and is reversed.
