United States v. Mark Steven Elk Shoulder, No. 10-30072 (9th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseDefendant was prosecuted for failing to comply with the sex offender registration requirements set forth in 42 U.S.C. 16913. At issue was the constitutionality of certain key provisions of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), Pub. L. 109-248, Tit. I, 120 Stat. 590. Because SORNA violated neither the Ex Post Facto Clause nor defendant's constitutional right to due process, and because Congress acted within its enumerated powers in enacting it, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on September 23, 2013.
