U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 18-3136
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Sentencing.Defendant's Iowa convictions for third degree
sexual abuse in violation of Iowa Code Sections 709.4(2)(b) and (2)(c)(4)
were prior convictions for purposes of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2252(b)(2), and a
state court order correcting the 2011 Iowa Judgment and Sentence which was
entered after defendant committed his federal offense but before he was
indicted did not affect this determination; the Corrected Judgment was not
based on constitutional invalidity, trial error or actual innocence, and
as the Order clarifying the Corrected Judgment made clear, the correction
did not alter the legality of the conviction or signify that defendant was
innocent of the crime.
