United States First Circuit

Defendant's conviction of possessing child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. section 2252(a)(4)(B) is affirmed, where: 1) the warrant to search both defendant's home and the devices inside it did not violate the Fourth Amendment because the government had sufficient probable cause; 2) the district court correctly concluded that copying pornography onto a thumb drive is producing pornography under the statute; and 3) defendant's challenge to the admission of the drive's "Made in China" inscription fails.
