U.S. v. MYERS, —F.3d—2009 WL 3270005 (11th Cir. October 13, 2009)
The district court recently held that a defendant’s charge of §2250 (traveling in interstate commerce) and failure to adhere to SORNA’s sex offender registration requirements under 42 U.S.C. §16913 exceeded Congress’ authority and dismissed the government’s indictment. However, on appeal, the Eleventh Circuit held that the Ambert case, 561 F.3d 1202 (11th Cir. 2009) is still good law (upholding 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a) and 42 U.S.C. §16913 to a Commerce Clause challenge).
