103480P.pdf   08/10/2011  United States  v.  Deven J. Poitra
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3480
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Bright and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Jury instruction in SORNA case was not erroneous; even if the instruction, which included elements of North Dakota law, was erroneous, the error was harmless as the error did not relate to a disputed issue; conditions of supervised release did not amount to an improper delegation of judicial authority; while the provision of defendant's supervised release which banned possession of sexually explicit materials was not supported by the required individualized findings, defendant was not entitled to relief under the plain error doctrine as the record clearly showed discernable reasons for the ban, in particular, defendant's notable risk for committing future offenses and his prior convictions for sexual offenses.
