U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-3122
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Even if the district court
erred in concluding defendant's Nebraska conviction for violation of
section 28-813.01(1) was a predicate offense for application of 18 U.S.C.
Sec. 2551(a), the error was harmless, as the determination had an
insubstantial impact on the calculation of defendant's total advisory
guidelines sentence under Section 5G1.2(d) and no impact on the court's
determination of the total punishment to be imposed under Section 3553(a);
in this case, conviction for sexual exploitation of a minor and for
possession of the images did not constitute double jeopardy under the
Blockberger test or the merged offenses doctrine.
