Brown contends that his lifetime term of supervised release is unreasonable.
Under the totality of circumstances, including the ongoing nature of sexual abuse,
the lifetime of supervised release is warranted. See United States v. Cope, 527
F.3d 944, 952 (9th Cir. 2008).
Brown also challenges several conditions of his supervised release. Brown’s
challenges of the special supervised release conditions number six, eight, and nine
lack merit. See United States v. Bee, 162 F.3d 1232, 1235-36 (9th Cir. 1998).
Brown’s challenge of the special supervised release condition number 11 also lacks
merit. See United States v. Wise, 391 F.3d 1027, 1031 (9th Cir. 2004); see also 18
U.S.C. § 3553(a)(2)(C).
AFFIRMED.
