United States First Circuit

Following remand from the U.S. Supreme Court, the restitution order requiring defendant to pay $3,150 to the child pornography victim who appeared in at least nine video clips found on his computer is affirmed, where: 1) the Supreme Court's recent decision, Paroline v. United States, 134 S. Ct. 1710 (2014), requires district courts to determine the amount of the victim's losses caused by the continuing traffic in the victim's images then set an award of restitution in consideration of factors that bear on the relative causal significance of the defendant's conduct in producing those losses; and 2) in applying Paroline here, the order is not an abuse of discretion.
