United States v. Wampler, No. 11-51028 (5th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was found guilty of failing to comply with his registration requirement in violation of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), 42 U.S.C. 16913(a). On appeal, defendant argued that the district court's instruction to the jury erroneously defined the term "resides," and constituted harmful error. Because the district court's instruction was not inconsistent with SORNA and because defendant failed to allege the instruction misstated the Sentencing Guidelines, the court found no reversible error in the district court's instruction and affirmed the conviction.
