United States Ninth Circuit

The denial of defendants' motions to dismiss their indictments for failing to update their sex offender registration information under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) when they moved to a different Arizona address within the territory of the Navajo Nation is affirmed where: 1) SORNA required defendants to update their registration with Arizona, and because nothing prevented them from doing so, no uncontrollable circumstances prevented them from complying with SORNA; and 2) this application of SORNA violated neither the Due Process Clause nor the Ex Post Facto Clause.
