161753P.pdf   04/24/2017  United States  v.  Joel Mayokok
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1753
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Benton, Circuit Judge, and Ebinger, District Judge] Criminal case - Sentencing. The district court erred in applying an enhancement under Guidelines Sec. 2G2.2(b)(3)(B) as the sentencing record does not support the conclusion that defendant actually engaged in file sharing after he uploaded an image to Google Picasa; applying the categorical approach, it is clear from looking at defendant's 2003 conviction for possession of a pornographic work involving minors in violation of Minnesota Statute Section 617.247, subd. 4 that the conviction necessarily relates to the possession of child pornography under federal law, and the district court did not err in applying the 15-year mandatory minimum sentence under 18 U.S.C. Section 2252(b)(1); remanded for resentencing without the Sec. 2G2.b(3)(B) enhancement.
