U.S. v. BURNS - Leagle.com Defendant Keith Lee Burns was convicted of traveling interstate and knowingly failing to update his sex offender registration as required by the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act ("SORNA"). 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a) (2006) ("failure-to-register statute"); 42 U.S.C. §§ 16913 (2006). On appeal, Burns challenges his conviction on constitutional delegation, ex post facto, and venue grounds. After careful review, we reject each challenge and affirm Burns's conviction.
