Question(s) presented1 A. QUESTIONS PRESENTED

This case concerns the Fourth Amendment limits on warrants to search a home and seize all of its digital contents based on a single, months-old image of child pornography attributed to an email account. The lower courts are openly divided on each of the following recurring questions:

  1. Staleness. Whether a single, isolated transmission of child pornography — here, one image sent roughly eight months before the warrant issued — becomes categorically “not stale” for purposes of probable cause simply because digital files are capable of indefinite storage, even where the affidavit contains no evidence that the suspect 1s a “collector” who retains such material.

  2. Nexus to the residence. Whether evidence that an online child-pornography offense was

Question(s) presentedI. QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW

A 12-year-old girl alleged that Petitioner sexually abused her. Weeks later, she fully recanted the allegation: “Everything was a lie. I made it all up.” Months after that, Petitioner, who was on supervised release for a prior sex offense, was arrested for violating the conditions of that release. He was later charged with enticement of a minor, although the grand jury was never told about the girl’s recantation. A later indictment dropped the enticement count, but charged Petitioner with obstruction, witness tampering, and conspiring (with his wife) to tamper with a witness, allegedly to ensure that the girl stuck by her recantation.

Petitioner went to trial on those charges. The Government’s case was made up largely of portions of recorded conversations between Petitioner and his wife, one of which ended with his wife stating that if the girl did not tell the truth “it’s gonna’ get ugly.” Petitioner’s counsel sought to ask the Government’s witness what came next, to show that “it’s gonna’ get ugly” referred to how diligently defense counsel would treat the matter. After losing an objection to that question, the Government argued that if defense counsel asked the question, it would “open the door” to evidence that defense counsel had previously cross-examined the girl in a prior case, leaving her in tears. The district court agreed and counsel decided not to ask the question. Petitioner was convicted on all counts.

At sentencing, the driving issue was whether Petitioner had, in fact, sexually abused the girl. The girl never testified in court or otherwise under oath. Instead, the district court reviewed videos of two forensic interviews with the girl — one from

Question(s) presentedI. QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW

Petitioner was convicted at trial of being a felon in possession of a firearm and witness tampering. In the lead up to sentencing, he made several pro se arguments about the calculation of his advisory Guideline range and ultimate sentence, none of which his counsel adopted. One of those objections was to the classification of a prior conviction as a “controlled substance offense.” The district court classified the offense as such and calculated the advisory Guidelines range accordingly. On appeal, Petitioner restated his argument that the conviction was not a controlled substance offense, but on a different theory and buttressed by documentation that had not been presented to the district court.

The question presented in this Petition is, in such circumstances, whether the Court of Appeals should review the question of whether a Petitioner’s prior conviction is a controlled substance offense de novo or only for plain error.
