Court Appealed: e United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee at Chattanooga

SUTTON, Chief Judge. Daniel Lockridge, who stands convicted of a methamphetamine- distribution charge, challenges two conditions of his supervised release, one requiring him to obtain mental-health treatment, the other requiring him to obtain substance-abuse treatment. He claims that both conditions flout the district court’s responsibilities under Article III of the U.S. Constitution because a probation officer oversees them. Seeing no constitutional infirmities, we affirm.
