OPINION

CORRIGAN, J.

The 2011 Realignment Act (Stats. 2011, ch. 15, § 1; Realignment Act or Act) provides for a period of mandatory supervision following service of a county jail sentence for eligible defendants. Here we consider how to assess the validity of a challenged condition of such a release. We conclude that such discretionary conditions are to be evaluated for reasonableness on a case-by-case basis under the test set out in People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481 (Lent). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeal.

I. BACKGROUND

Late on August 24, 2014, police officers responded to a disturbing the peace call outside a housing complex. The officers arrived to find a number of people gathered around two cars in the parking lot. Clydell Bryant and his girlfriend, Lamaine Jones, were smoking marijuana in the car of Jones's mother. A search of the vehicle revealed a loaded, semi-automatic handgun under the seat Bryant had occupied. The gun was not registered and bore DNA matching that of Bryant.
