Unite States v. Ferguson, No. 10-3070 (6th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant entered a plea of guilty to possession of child pornography, 18 U.S.C. 2252(a)(5)(B). He challenged denial of a motion to suppress floppy disks discovered in his house and five conditions imposed on supervised release. He claimed ineffective assistance of counsel in his attorney's failure to preserve his right to appeal denial of the motion to suppress. The conditions restrict his ability to access the internet, to associate with minors, to associate with persons who have sexual attraction to minors, to seek employment involving interaction with minors, and to engage in activities involving minors, and to frequent places where minors gather. The Sixth Circuit affirmed, finding the record insufficient for review, with respect to the ineffective assistance claim. In light of defendant's unconditional plea, the court declined to review denial of the motion to suppress or the conditions.
