(D . Colo.)
Defendant Appellant.
After Denise Souser pled guilty to one count of making a false statement to
the Government in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1001, she was ordered to pay
restitution and sentenced to five years probation. The district court imposed a
condition to her probation requiring Souser to notify her employer about her
conviction. Concerned that her employment would be terminated, Souser
appealed the employer-notice requirement of her probation to this court. W e
vacated and remanded the condition because the sentencing court failed to make

that the district court placed Souser in a Catch-22, effectively telling her that
your failure to reveal your conviction shows me that I need to order you to tell
your employer. The Government therefore maintains that the condition should
be vacated and the case be remanded for de novo resentencing. W e agree.
Sousers sentence is VAC ATED and the case is REM AND ED for
resentencing.
