United States v. Ibrahim, No. 15-1334 (1st Cir. 2016)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was indicted for failure to register as a sex offender. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the indictment, claiming that Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act was unconstitutional (the SORNA motion). No hearing was requested on the motion, and none was held until after Defendant had filed a second dismissal motion in which he asserted a violation of the Speedy Trial Act (the STA motion). After a hearing, the district court denied both the SORNA motion and the STA motion. Defendant pleaded guilty, reserving his right to appeal the denials of both motions. The First Circuit (1) summarily affirmed the district court’s rejection of the constitutional challenges to SORNA; (2) held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that a hearing on the SORNA motion was required; and (3) affirmed the dismissal of Defendant’s STA motion.
