   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-3250
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Joplin   
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Gruender, Circuit Judge, and Doty, District Judge] Criminal case - Sentencing. Applying the Supreme Court's recent decision in Lockhart v. United States, 136 S.Ct. 958 (Mar. 1, 2016), which held the phrase "involving a minor or ward" in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2252(b)(2) modifies only "abusive sexual conduct" and not "aggravated sexual abuse" or "sexual abuse", the district court did not err in concluding a conviction for third-degree sexual assault under Nebraska Revised Statutes Section 28-320 triggered a sentencing enhancement under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2252(b)(1).
