No. 13-40920
imposed, along with a twenty-seven-month term of imprisonment and three-
year term of SR, following his guilty-plea conviction of being unlawfully pres-
ent in the United States after deportation. See 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(2). The
district court stated at sentencing that, as a special condition of his SR, Alanis-
Soto must “not use any name other than [his] true name or true date of birth
nor possess any false or fraudulent identification documents.”
Alanis-Soto contends that, under the facts, the “true name” condition is
not reasonably related to the purposes of SR and is a greater deprivation of
liberty than reasonably necessary because it violates his First Amendment
right to free speech. Specifically, he asserts that the condition is a content-
based restriction not sufficiently narrowly tailored to accommodate his First
Amendment rights. Because his position requires an extension of United
States v. Alvarez, 132 S. Ct. 2537, 2544-47 (2012), rather than a straight-
forward application of that case, any error on the part of the district court was
not clear or obvious. See United States v. Vargas-Soto, 700 F.3d 180, 182 (5th
Cir. 2012).
The written judgment did not include the “true name” condition included
in the oral sentence. We therefore REFORM the judgment to include the spe-
cial condition of SR that Alanis-Soto not use any name other than his true
name or true date of birth, nor possess any false or fraudulent identification
document. See 28 U.S.C. § 2106; United States v. Bigelow, 462 F.3d 378, 381
(5th Cir. 2006). We AFFIRM the judgment as modified. See United States v.
Mondragon-Santiago, 564 F.3d 357, 369 (5th Cir. 2009).
