Question presented
Whether it is unlawful for a court to impose sex offender registration as a condition of supervised release for a non-qualifying offense, and to enforce an appellate waiver to bar review—where circuits are divided on whether such waivers preclude challenges to plainly unlawful sentencing conditions—thus allowing the Eleventh Circuit, as an outlier, to shield ultra vires registration requirements from scrutiny.
