1. “[Defendant] relies primarily on our decision in United States v. Lussier , 104 F.3d 32 (2d Cir. 1997), where we noted that a district court may modify conditions of supervised release "in order to account for new or unforeseen circumstances." Id. at 36 . He contends that Lussier suggests that a modification of supervised release conditions cannot take place without some action by the defendant or a new circumstance in the defendant's life that arises after the original sentence was imposed. However, this reasoning is contrary to the plain language of Lussier , which does not require new or changed circumstances relating to the defendant in order to modify conditions of release, but simply recognizes that changed circumstances may in some instances justify a modification. See id. So long as the court, when modifying supervised release conditions, considers the relevant 18 U.S.C. § 3553 (a) sentencing factors, there is no additional requirement that it make a finding of new or changed circumstances with respect to the defendant.”
