U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 11-1609
U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Fargo
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Wollman and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing. In this case, the district court may have
imposed defendant's consecutive sentence in order to enable treatment
and promote rehabilitation in a federal institution in violation of Tapia v.
United States, 131 S. Ct. 2382 (2011), and the sentence is vacated and the
matter remanded for resentencing; the provision of defendant's supervised
release prohibiting him from possessing material that depicts or describes
sexually explicit conduct was not overbroad or unwarranted, where
defendant admitted to an addiction to child pornography and discussed its
role in facilitating the abuse of a minor child. Judge Benton, dissenting.
