BARRON, Circuit Judge. Wilson Serrano-Mercado contends the District Court made two mistakes in sentencing him for a federal gun crime. First, he argues the District Court erred in counting more than one of his prior convictions for Puerto Rico criminal offenses as a conviction for a “crime of violence” under the Sentencing Guidelines. Second, he contends the District Court gave too much significance under those same guidelin

HOWARD, Circuit Judge, dissenting in part. I agree that the supervised release condition banning all home internet use is too broad. I dissent in part, however, because I believe the second supervised release condition — prohibiting Perazza-Mercado from possessing “pornographic materials” — survives plain error review. In vacating the district court’s ban on pornography, the majority relies pri

It involves a plaintiff who reasonably believes that he was shot by a police officer but who thereafter was deprived of access to information that would have enabled him to establish the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident. The district court determined that the allegations
