131189P.pdf   09/02/2014  United States  v.  James Coppock
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1189
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [[Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. In light of the Supreme Court's recent 
   decision in United States v. Comstock, 560 U.S. 126 (2010) and United 
   States v. Kebodeaux, 133 S. Ct. 2496 (2013), defendant's argument that his 
   conviction under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2250(a) for failure to register as a sex 
   offender is unconstitutional must be rejected; the decision here applies 
   only to a sex offender who - at the time the registration requirements 
   came into effect - was under federal parole supervision based upon a 
   conviction under federal law, and thus remained in a "special relationship 
   with the federal government."
