U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 19-1465
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Council Bluffs
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Gruender, Circuit
Judge]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Defendant's argument that the court based his
sentence on clearly erroneous fact findings was raised for the first time
on appeal, and the argument was not preserved for appellate review; in any
event, the argument is without merit as considerable evidence supported
the district court's finding that defendant knowingly distributed child
pornography; the district court did not err in weighing the 3553(a)
factors, and defendant's sentence was not substantively unreasonable; six
special conditions of supervision may be ones routinely imposed in sex
offender and child pornography cases, but the record established that they
were reasonably related to defendant's offense and his history and
characteristics and that they were needed to protect the public from a
dangerous child sexual predator.
