FILED United States Court of Appeals Tenth Circuit UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT November 27, 2013 Elisabeth A. Shumaker Clerk of Court UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. No. 13-3246 (D.C. No. 5:13-CR-40021-JAR-1) (D. Kan.) MARK DAVID DAVIS, Defendant-Appellant. ORDER AND JUDGMENT* Before LUCERO, HARTZ, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges. After entering into a plea agreement that included a waiver of his right to appeal, Mark David Davis pleaded guilty to one count of failing to register as a sex offender, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a).
