United States v. Rooks
United States v. Rooks
Opinion of the Court
We AFFIRM Rooks’s convictions. The jury instruction properly stated the jury could find Rooks guilty of either receiving or distributing child pornography in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2252A(a)(2) because the statute is unambiguous and because “a disjunctive statute may be pleaded conjunctively and proved disjunctively.” See United States v. Harrelson, 705 F.2d 733, 736 (5th Cir. 1983). Furthermore, Rooks’s receiving conviction under 18 U.S.C.
AFFIRMED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
