   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1261
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Wollman and Bye, Circuit Judges] 
   Prisoner case - habeas. The court joins the Third, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth 
   circuits in holding the Attorney General lacked good cause for waiving the 
   procedural requirements for rulemaking and thereby violated the 
   Administrative Procedures Act when he promulgated and made effective the 
   Interim Rule applying SORNA to offenders convicted before the passage of 
   the Act without allowing for the required public notice-and-comment period 
   and minimum 30-day publication period; since defendant was convicted of 
   violating SORNA under the Interim Rule, his conviction is invalid and must 
   be vacated.
